The "Initializing"-problem is probably a mame-problem.
Unfortunately you have not given your AM-configuration (your_AM-folder\emulators\your-emulator.txt).

Hi Hermine, thanks for the reply. Below is the text within that path. Also it is a .cfg not a .txt (not sure if the extension matters)

General / Mame + Attract Mode Games won't launch

« on: July 12, 2020, 02:51:18 PM »

Hello,
I am a newbie so this might be a silly question, please bear with me.
I have set up Mame and have some roms that I can play through the mame64 application. However, I wanted a pretty front end and chose Attract-Mode. When I launch attract-mode I can see all of the roms, but when I select a game it says "Initializing" then returns back to the screen where I just selected the game. Does anyone know why this is happening and why I can't play the games through attract-mode?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
