General / Re: Switch Collection/Rom List
« Last post by sarausa on June 27, 2025, 08:54:28 PM »The way you are doing it is correct and is the recommended way in MAME native environment: create a custom list (custom folder/display mode) like “Namco11”.

« Last post by Giedapio on June 26, 2025, 01:14:01 AM »Yes, there is a way! SumatraPDF can automatically read all supported formats without changing options—you just need to set it as the default app for those file types once, and you're done.

Emulators / Re: PCSX2 AVX2 QT launch error...
« Last post by Vyauiorty on June 26, 2025, 12:56:12 AM »actually thank you very much i also encountered Attract-Mode error but i was instructed like this i don't know if it is correct :
Open CMD and test the same command that Attract-Mode runs (e.g., pcsx2-qt.exe "C:\Games\MyGame.iso").
Run Attract-Mode as administrator if needed.
Check logs in both PCSX2 and Attract-Mode (attract.cfg and pcsx2-log.txt).

General / Re: I can't play on DuckStation and PCSX2 through Attract Mode
« Last post by emmausa on June 25, 2025, 08:32:15 PM »Have you checked your folder permissions? Sometimes Windows 11 can have stricter permissions that prevent Attract Mode or the emulator from accessing game files.
