General / (Solved) Attract Mode fails to start MAME ROMs
« on: March 27, 2019, 05:13:25 PM »
Hello all, I've been beating my head against this one for the last couple of days and my Google-fu has failed me, so I'm asking for a bit of help.
So, I have Attract More all installed and set up with MAME, both running 32 bit versions on Windows 10. I can get ROMs to start all day long with MAME, but when I try to start any ROM at all in Attract Mode, it just briefly shows the MAME "Initializing..." screen before closing out back to Attract Mode. I ran the console version of AM from the command line, but all it says is that the game started with the ROM for the game itself, no other ROMs, and then it just acts as if nothing has happened. I followed the setup guide pinned above as best I could, but since it has done this on two different systems now, I figure it must be something simple and stupid I'm missing. So, if anyone has any idea what I'm doing wrong, please help a new guy out.
Thanks.
