General / Re: Attract-Mode locking up on MAME launch (All ROMS)

Thank you so much for your reply. Well, holy shit man for some damn reason my mame.cfg had an insane value for pause_hotkey that I cannot explain to save my life.
I had uninstalled and reinstalled the emulator in Attract-Mode with the same results each time. I was going down this path by watching the process in terminal and seeing this:
Checking my default.cfg in MAME folder showed the default P as being the pause input. In any event, I have been banging my head on the wall with this one and off for 2 days. Everything is operational now. I owe you an effing beer and I mean that.

- Pause Hotkey pressed, sending SIGSTOP signal to process 12617
