Hi, for changing the default emulator you have to head for the runcommand options. Typically by pressing the A button at startup of a game. This of course requires that you are allowed to do so (see runcommand setup within the Retropie setup, as described in the Retropie WIKI).
Please also note that AdvanceMAME is no Libretro Core. If you want to switch between AdvanceMAME and lr-MAME2010, your roms must be in the Arcade directory.
Within AttraceMode, you must finally head for the pre-configured Arcade Emulator and build romlist and Display from there. Then you should be set.
Try to check these steps in the above order and it should work out. Good luck!
