i have retroarch working in AM for NES, SNES, SMS, GEN, 32X, and TG16 with no issues, but I can't for the life of me get AM to successfully launch a game through the MAME core. For the aforementioned systems, the exe is just retroarch.exe and the arguments are "[romfilename]" -L cores/core_name.dll. That doesn't work with the MAME core, nor does switching to either [name] or "[name]". I think I've tried about every combination. I can launch a game from within retroarch without any problems. And I don't really have a problem just using mame, but I'm building a pc for a friend to put in a cab and having everything just be part of retroarch would make it simpler for him.

Hello there
if someone please help me ?
i have the same issue. I can play other retroarch cores etc. fbalpha. There is no problem.
But with the mame core, i couldt do anything.
help us please
-
executable .\RetroArch\retroarch.exe
args -f -L .\cores\mame_libretro.dll "[romfilename]"
-
executable .\RetroArch\retroarch.exe
args -f -L .\cores\mame_libretro.dll "[romfilename]"
Hello
thanks for help
but when i try to launch with this, retroarch gives error and closed.
All of the cores are workng only mame has problem.
And without the attract mode, i tested the mame2016 core.it is working. But in the frontend no :(

You need to change "mame_libretro.dll" to "mame2016_libretro.dll" or what ever your core is named.
Post your mame.cfg emulator configuration file.

Your argument is wrong. You aren't providing a relative or full path to the core. "cores\mame2016_libretro.dll " is not a valid path. This is an issue.
Post an emulator.cfg from one of the systems that is working properly so I can see how/where you have RetroArch setup.

Im just trying to play Deathsmiles
when i try to play this game with Retroarch and mame2016 core or mame2014 core. There is no problem, i can play. That means the rom file is ok.
but if i try to play with attract mode, retroarch has error and stopped. I tried all of the other mame cores :(
-
Read above, I modified my post when I saw your bad path in the argument line.

left side is not working mame core
righ side is working fba core no problem
-
i see the only differences as -f and the rom location.
-
+1 for the full path needed
-
i tried with -f or without -f
it is the same result
i just try to launch game from cmd with the same attractmode command. And it plays fine no problem

Ok, I think I found your issue.
When you are using the command line the end of the command looks like this.
\dsmbl.zip
When you are using Attract-Mode the end of the command looks like this.
/dsmbl.zip
To fix this you need a trailing back slash (\) in your mame.cfg rom path like this.
# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.2.1
#
executable C:\AttractMode\emulators\RetroArch\retroarch.exe
args -f -L cores\mame2016_libretro.dll "[romfilename]"
rompath C:\AttractMode\roms\Cave\
romext .zip
info_source thegamesdb.net
This should correct Attract-Mode to use "\dsmbl.zip" instead of "/dsmbl.zip" at the end of the command and fix your issue.
