Please post your configuration:
your_AM_folder\emulators\your_displayname.cfg

what is the command to start a specific romfile directly from commandline/cmd/batch?
Example
AM Version : 2.6.1
Input : Mad Catz Brawlstick; Mouse; Keyboard; Xbox360 Wireless
Cabinet : Yes
OS : Windows10 Pro
System : Dell Precision T3500 ; Intel X5650 ; 12GB RAM

Thanks for reply.  I m using the following config

Executable:-                     /emulate/zxspin/zxspin.exe
Command Arguments:-    "[romfile]"
Working Directory:-
Rom Path:-                       /roms/zxspectrum/

tbh, I actually went into command mode and run the emulator. I get the same error result ZXSpin cannot file the rom.

i think, your config-file is wrong.
please try fully qualified paths (static paths) before trying relative paths. i guess, you use drive-letter C:\ (fit to your drive-letter and paths):

Code: [Select]
executable           C:\emulate\zxspin\zxspin.exe
args                 "[romfilename]"
rompath              C:\roms\zxspectrum
romext               .dsk;.tap

or use another emulator. See here Section ZX Spectrum / Sinclair ZX Spectrum
AM Version : 2.6.1
Input : Mad Catz Brawlstick; Mouse; Keyboard; Xbox360 Wireless
Cabinet : Yes
OS : Windows10 Pro
System : Dell Precision T3500 ; Intel X5650 ; 12GB RAM

Thank you so much.
I guess the problem is the forward slash /.  But I did not suspect this because all the rest of my other configs uses / instead of \.

Reason I use this is because, this emulator support no border display. Not aware of other emulators that will do this.

Thanks again
