General / Retroach Windows Setup (cannot launch games)

« on: May 16, 2017, 09:16:10 PM »

I'm having trouble launching games from AttrachMode in Windows 10.
Retroarch 1.5 with snex9x core is my emulator of choice.

If in Windows CMD I run the following, the game launches in Retroarch with no problem:
C:\Emulation\retroarch\retroarch.exe -L C:\Emulation\retroarch\cores\snes9x_libretro.dll "C:\Emulation\SNES\roms\Super Metroid (Japan, USA).smc"

In attract mode I feel I've done all the requisite things to get everything working.  Snaps and the wheel and everything looks fine.
The only thing that doesn't happen is game launch.  I press accept to launch a game, the screen blips, and no game launch.

My snes9x emulator file looks as follows:
# Generated by Attract-Mode 1.5.1
#
executable           C:\Emulation\retroarch\retroarch.exe
args                 -L C:\Emulation\retroarch\cores\snes9x_libretro.dll "[romfilename]"
rompath              C:\Emulation\SNES\roms\
romext               .smc;.sfc;.zip
system               Super Nintendo (SNES)
info_source          thegamesdb.net
artwork    snap            C:\Emulation\HyperSpin\Media\Super Nintendo Entertainment System\Video
artwork    wheel           C:\Emulation\HyperSpin\Media\Super Nintendo Entertainment System\Images\Wheel

Can someone help me understand what I might be doing wrong?

Themes / Best Portrait / Vertical / Cocktail Themes?

« on: December 29, 2016, 06:37:45 AM »

After a decent amount of browsing for good portrait/vertical/cocktail themes, I decided to just ask if there are favorites among AM users here.

Best one I've come across so far is dualistV:

I was very excited about the flat blue theme, but it runs very poorly on a RPi3:
