Although now when I quit the game in Mame (Escape), the game closes, but Attract Mode does not come back.  It just goes to my desktop in the Finder.

Found the fix. 

I had to set the Non-Blocking Time Wait to 1.
Attract seemed to retake the focus from mame after the game started to launch.

General / Attract Mode with Mame 0216 on Mac games won't start

« on: January 18, 2024, 08:07:01 PM »

I was able to get Attract mode setup and fixed the game names to be Names and not filenames.  I can start the Mame emulator separately and play the games just fine.

Now with Attract Mode it act like it is going to start the games (blacks the screen), but never starts the game.  I have to reboot my computer to get out fo the black screen.

Here is the config for Mame:
