Title: Atomisewave AttractMode
Post by: cyclair on November 17, 2020, 10:57:47 PM: Good morning all,

I have a problem with the atomiswave. I have the flycast core compatible roms which works very well in retroarch directly, no problem.
But as soon as I want to go through attractmode, the roms do not start, return to menu directly.
While in retroarch the games work perfectly. Do you know where the problem can come from?

Here is my .cfg : # Generated by Attract-Mode v2.6.0
#
executable E:\AttractMode\RetroArch\retroarch.exe
args "[romfilename]" -L cores/flycast_libretro.dll
rompath E:\AttractMode\Roms\Atomiswave
romext .zip
exit_hotkey Joy0 Button11
artwork flyer
artwork marquee
artwork snap E:\AttractMode\Roms\Atomiswave\Snap
artwork wheel E:\AttractMode\Roms\Atomiswave\Wheel

thank you in advance

Post by: progets on November 17, 2020, 11:59:44 PM: Do you have other systems setup using RetroArch? What are their settings?

Did you try the working directory option in your emulator configuration?
Title: Re: Atomisewave AttractMode
Post by: cyclair on November 18, 2020, 12:16:58 AM: Yes I run many other systems with retroarch without worries. For example Naomi, Mame, Neogeo, etc.

Example of my other Args

*Naomi : "[romfilename]" -L cores/flycast_libretro.dll
*NeoGeo : "[romfilename]" -L cores/fbalpha2012_neogeo_libretro.dll
*Dreamcast : "[romfilename]" -L cores/flycast_libretro.dll
*Saturn : "[romfilename]" -L cores/mednafen_saturn_libretro.dll
*Snes : "[romfilename]" -L cores/snes9x_libretro.dll

No worries, it works great. Just the Atomisewaves which work in retroarch but not in attractmode. What I do not understand.

Post by: cyclair on November 18, 2020, 01:37:17 AM: So finally found, here it can be used for another, here is the good Args for the Atomisewave under retroarch with the Flycast core.

The happy ones are finally working under AttractMode. Thank you

Code: [Select]
cmd.exe and use the command line and start a game that way then post it here. (please remember to replace your user name with the word user..as this is a "public" forum..)
