Title: Re: ROMS (game) won't launch in Raspberry Pi
Post by: fr33dom on February 18, 2021, 09:08:05 AM

Hi all,

I have trouble running Mame roms with AM on RPi 4 8Gb with Retropie
When I launch the roms the shell appears and then it doesn't happen in, it returns to AM again.
The same roms work fine with emulationstation

I have been trying them all for a week now, I have installed AM from scratch in many ways, via binaries on Retropie, via sources on Retropie, compiling packages out of Retropie following this guide https://github.com/mickelson/attract/wiki/Compiling-on-the-Raspberry-Pi-4-(Raspbian-Buster) (https://github.com/mickelson/attract/wiki/Compiling-on-the-Raspberry-Pi-4-(Raspbian-Buster))

This is my configuration:

Code: [Select]

# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.6.1
#
executable         /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mame2003/mame2003_libretro.so
args                 "[romfilename]"
rompath          /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/mame2003/
romext              .zip
info_source        listxml

I tried to run AM in debug mode

Code: [Select]

attract --loglevel debug but don't see errors.

Can someone help me please?

Thanks so much

Try something like this:

Code: [Select]

# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.6.1
#
executable           /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh
args                 0 _SYS_ mame-libretro "[romfilename]"
rompath              /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/mame2003/
romext               .zip
info_source              listxml

The runcommand is the script responsible to launch your emulators/games. This wiki shows the runcommand's configurations and features.

Your executable is wrong and maybe your argument as well.

I think that mahuti solution works best. You can also call your emulator in the "exe" and then the correct core and rom in the "arg".

Thank you so much! Everything is OK now.
I've been banging my head for weeks and now I find it was an executable problem.  :-\
I'm just stupid!  ;D

Thanks for your support!
