The single overview with all rom files is called display and has nothing to do with resolution.

And you should learn to be more friendly here in the forum.
Mistakes happen. But so rude? We're a big emulation clan and fans of frontends :-)

It would be interesting to know how you start your batch within AM.

@ Mark Norville
And the rest of your display configuration?
(Your_AM_folder\eumulators\your_display.cfg)

@ Mark Norville
if you use "PC Emulator"/batch/CMD, you can't exit the running emulator.
AM kills, by pressing escape key, cmd.exe.
the program in background is still running.
So, external software is necessary.

executable           cmd
args                 /c start "firefox.exe" "[romfilename]"
workdir              "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox"
rompath              C:\attract\EMU\URL\ROMS

I think, you read it wrong:
It would "Whatever" show if the filter is "equals Whatever"!
If you use equals, it is case sensitive and needs a 100% match.
If you use contains, parts are ok.

For example four romfiles on your harddrive:

Twisted Metal.aaa
Twisted Metal (USA).aaa
Twisted Metal - Whatelse.aaa
Twisted Sisters.aaa

Name equals Twisted Metal
Output :
Twisted Metal

Name contains Twisted Metal
Output:
Twisted Metal.aaa
Twisted Metal (USA).aaa
Twisted Metal - Whatelse.aaa

Name equals Twisted
Output:
empty/nothing shown

Name contains Twisted
Output:
Twisted Metal
Twisted Metal (USA)
Twisted Metal - Whatelse
Twisted Sisters

on earlier posts, you said that you are on Windows 10.

Windows do not support some characters in filenames.
And if Windows process/get this characters from e.g. a textfile too.
colon : is one of them.

So check your romlists

or add it manually:
open your_AM_folder\romlists\your_emulator_display.txt

It looks like this:
Code: [Select]
#Name;Title;Emulator;CloneOf;Year;Manufacturer;Category;Players;Rotation;Control;Status;DisplayCount;DisplayType;AltRomname;AltTitle;Extra;Buttons;Series;Language;Region;Rating
Batman Returns (USA);Batman Returns (USA);SNES;;;Konami;Action, Fighting;1;;;;;;;Batman Returns;;;;;;

the tokens are seperated by semicolon ;

this is a minimal entry in a romlist:
Code: [Select]
#Name;Title;Emulator;CloneOf;Year;Manufacturer;Category;Players;Rotation;Control;Status;DisplayCount;DisplayType;AltRomname;AltTitle;Extra;Buttons;Series;Language;Region;Rating
This-is-the-romfile-name-on-your-harddrive;This-is-the-text-that-you-see-in-AM;Your-Emulator-Display-Name;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

You see, that Name and Title can differ

Today error 500 again, by generating this post

the board blocks specific keywords (probably recognize some words as commands and they are blocked by board security settings?):

wrote this words with space and was able to save:
r ename
c opy

wrote it without space => blocked/don't work/wasn't able to save

sometimes scraping don't work to some games.
another day it works perfect.

so: try it later, again.

or

get artwork and game info manually:

start AM > press TAB key > Emulators > your_Display > Generate Collection / Rom list

close AM

open your romfolder (e.g. your_AM_folder\your_emulator_system )
notice the name of your romfile : Disney's Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers.nes => Disney's Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers

open your artwork folder (e.g. your_AM_folder\scraper\your_emulator_system )

download the artwork from TGDB and  it to the depending folder (flyer, marquee, wheel).

r ename the artworks with your noticed romfile-name => Disney's Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers.png

open the overview folder (e.g. your_AM_folder\scraper\overview)

c opy one of the existing textfiles and rename it to the noticed romfile-name : Disney's Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers.txt

c opy the gameinfo text / overview info from TGDB

open the Disney's Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers.txt and overwrite the copied text from TGDB.

start AM and you get the correct artworks and game info
