Thanks for that. Who would have thought it would be so easy.
I must admit I had not seen that feature in the demo's or instructions I had been following.

Thank you, that seems to have fixed it.

I'll watch the Youtube clip and see if there are any other changes/updates I should make.
The next improvement I will look for will be exiting a game without having to restart the Pi.

I'm fairly confident my paths are correct, have double checked them with the video a few times to confirm.
Not sure about the bios and romset, but assumed they were ok if it works from emulation station since both are using retroarch to execute.
started the proces with sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-upgrade etc. (following the instructions at this stage but not always sure of the meaning of the code)

General / MAME not working in attract mode but do with emulationstation

Hi all

First-time poster, and new to all of this

I am trying to set up a Retropie 3 with attract mode and the Robospin display. (following this youtube guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrXe3icI-mI) The plan is to get this working myself and then support students at school to make their own arcade tables to learn some programming, electronics, and cabinetmaking.

All seems to have worked, I have the list of games in MAME_LIBRETRO along with Snaps  and Wheel, but when I select a game it won't load (quick flash on the screen and then back to robospin.

If i try and select the games in emulation station they will load and play.
I have double checked the scripts for the emulator settings and I am sure the error isn't there.

Can anyone help please, I want to sort out the bugs before we give this project to the students.
PS If you live in Adelaide's northern suburbs any face to face assistance would be appreciated.
