General / Attract Mode not starting mame
« on: March 18, 2016, 08:27:24 PM »
Hi, I am trying to set up Attract Mode on lubuntu and have added a few roms to test. I have followed the step by step setup but must be missing something simple and am hoping someone can help out...
I am able to cycle through the list of roms but when I hit enter (return) mame does not start at all and Attract Mode just continues to display rom names. I am able to start and play roms directly in mame and have also tested GNOME Video Arcade which also works. I have checked the paths for executable and roms etc in Attract Mode config and everything looks ok so not sure why nothing will start, any ideas or info to point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Edit: did some more testing and looks like it might be exiting mame and returning to AttractMode immediately following the enter key being pressed. I can see a "loading" message very briefly and the played count increases. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
