Ok, I fully specified the paths now and the MAME app launches now, but after displaying MAME's window for a second or two, I'm automatically switched back to attract-mode. So I click in MAME's window to bring it back to the front, but now any keypress is ignored and I get the "beachball-of-death", i.e. MAME hangs.

I'm able to switch back to attract-mode and chose another game, the old MAME is stopped then and another instance is started, but with the same symptoms.

So, I'm not sure if my problems are Catalina related, but since I'm using Catalina for setting up attractmode for the first time, I'm posting it here.

I did everything as indicated in the previous posts and attractmode launches just fine and I could configure MAME. I'm seeing all the ROMs and Snapshots I'm using so all the paths must be set up correctly, but when I start a game, attract-mode's window goes black for a few seconds and then I'm back at game selection. There's is no attempt at lauching MAME. I'm abel to launch MAME manually and everything works fine.

What am I missing here?
