we finally found it, the 3rd one there was the ticket

# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.6.0

executable           C:\mame\ShmupArch6\ShmupArch6\retroarch.exe
args                 -f -L C:\mame\ShmupArch6\ShmupArch6\cores\fbneo_libretro.dll [rompath]\[name][romext]

the only difference i can see between "[romfilename]" and the one that works is there is a forward slash instead of back slash

*** Running: "C:\mame\ShmupArch6\ShmupArch6\retroarch.exe" -f -L "C:\mame\ShmupArch6\ShmupArch6\cores\fbneo_libretro.dll" "C:\mame\ShmupArch6\ShmupArch6\roms/galaga.zip"

that was romfilename

*** Running: "C:\mame\ShmupArch6\ShmupArch6\retroarch.exe" -f -L "C:\mame\ShmupArch6\ShmupArch6\cores\fbneo_libretro.dll" "C:\mame\ShmupArch6\ShmupArch6\roms\galaga.zip"

this was the one that worked but its typed in just like that in args

so i put this in the config file for attract mode and it does open up galaga as expected, i was just trying to match what we put in cmd
# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.6.0
#
executable           "C:\mame\ShmupArch6\ShmupArch6\retroarch.exe"
args                 -f -L "C:\mame\ShmupArch6\ShmupArch6\cores\fbneo_libretro.dll" "C:\mame\ShmupArch6\ShmupArch6\roms\galaga.zip"
rompath              C:\mame\ShmupArch6\ShmupArch6\roms
romext               .zip;.7z
system               Arcade
info_source          listxml
nb_mode_wait         2

artwork    snap            C:\mame\shmupmame42_64bit\snap
artwork    wheel           C:\mame\shmupmame42_64bit\wheel

so i guess the question is how to get it to recognize the different roms??

if only it were that easy :/
well ill keep messing around with it, seems strange that you can start it from CMD but not in attract mode

hmm. is it possible it is technically starting it the closing? when start a game it goes out of attract mode then black screen for a second or two then back into attractmode game select
tried three different ones on this on all with that result

yeah i had renamed the shmuparch6 folders to have no spaces
i did try that one and it still does black screen then menu after a few seconds
executable           C:\mame\ShmupArch6\ShmupArch6\retroarch.exe
args                 -f -L "C:\mame\ShmupArch6\ShmupArch6\cores\fbneo_libretro.dll" "[romfilename]"
rompath              C:\mame\ShmupArch6\ShmupArch6\roms
romext               .zip;.7z

just for reference the code that worked in cmd was
C:\>"C:\mame\ShmupArch6\ShmupArch6\retroarch.exe" -f -L "C:\mame\ShmupArch6\ShmupArch6\cores\fbneo_libretro.dll" "C:\mame\ShmupArch6\ShmupArch6\roms\galaga.zip"
just tried it again

that command line did open up galaga correctly.
i tried
executable           C:\mame\ShmupArch6\ShmupArch6\retroarch.exe
args                 -f -L "C:\mame\ShmupArch 6\ShmupArch 6\cores\fbneo_libretro.dll" "[romfilename]"

didnt work
