Okay let me get this understood...

You have installed retropie on a Ubuntu 20.04 based 64 bit PC not a raspberry pi correct?

1. How did you install the emulator?
2. What is your default emulator?

(I'm assuming VICE as it is the default.)

RetroPie install on Ubuntu 20.04 x64 ( Vic-20 runs fine from RetroPie)

So it loads just fine...

try this instead:

Code: [Select]

# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.6.1
#
executable           /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ vic20
args                  "[romfilename]"

If i recall correctly that is what I had to do...do you have any other systems running on your setup through AM now?

also check /dev/shm/runcoomand.log and see if there are any errors reported.

rompath              $HOME/RetroPie/roms/vic20

try using a full path best thing to do open the folder you have you roms and then paste that path into your rompath for AM

Looking at your config line above:

romext               .tap .prg .TAP .PRG

Shouldn't the rom extensions be separated by semicolons?

romext               .tap;.prg;.TAP;.PRG


That may be why Attract Mode isn't finding any roms.

I feel so stupid
romext               .tap;.prg;.TAP;.PRG

That did the trick
thanx
