this is not an error by AM.
start your roms/system in FBA guided by menu dialogue (open your roms by hand).
if still there an error message, your rom-files are corrupt or not supported.
=> contact FBA support

Thanks. What do you type from the command line to get your rom to run?

ie:

c:\attractmode\runprogram.exe -fullscreen game.zip

Once you know it runs from the command line, then you can get the parameters correct from within attractmode.

Yes it does, you can run games from the command line.

Check folder name, the default is coleco not colec.
Try deleting workdir path.

command line
D:/Attract Mode 2.2.1/emus/FBA/fba64.exe name

This works for me:

Code: [Select]

rompath              \emus\roms_neogeo

artwork    wheel           \emus\fba\wheel
try [name] instead of [romfilename]
