Attract not launching again after adv-mame exits

[vthyng]

Pi3, floob .4 image.  When I exit advmame I am returned to a command prompt with glGetError 0x500 above the prompt.  running attract gets me back in.  I tried both versions of advmame on the image, 0.94.0, and 1.4, both have same issue.  I tried libretro and c64/vice and attract launches again after existing those emulators.  I tried adding a 5 and 10 second sleep at the end of runcommand.sh to see if the error message was attract trying to get a resource that hadn't been freed yet, but same problem, just longer to get there :/    Any ideas?

Recompile Attract-Mode and the issue should be resolved.

Thank you for fixing it.  I am finally getting time to try it out, but not sure exactly how to proceed.  Do I need to clone the project to my floob v4 image and recompile/install attract mode?  If so, are there already instructions or any special folders I should do it in?  I figure I would clone it to /usr/local/src, and curious about special ./configure flags.

Thanks!

I personally didn't fix it. I'm just letting you know that it was an issue that has since been resolve. That image is 6 months old and a lot has changed with Attract-Mode and RetroPie. You can follow the steps in the wiki https://github.com/mickelson/attract/wiki/Compiling-on-the-Raspberry-Pi-%28Raspbian-Jessie%29. To clarify, you need to recompile SFML and Attract-Mode to resolve your issue but you should also consider running "Method 2" so you can use hardware video decoding.

For those of those of us slow learners in the group.... I have everything installed and looking just as I wish. I am using Floobs latest version with the latest version of AM. I seem to have the exit but leaving a game. Sounds like I need to recompile...but am very unsure of EXACTLY which of the steps below to follow to only compile...  Sorry, if I am dense but I have spent so much time setting things up I am fearful of making a major error...thank you for setting me straight.
   
Steps to install Attract-Mode on Raspbian Jessie:

Create a build environment

cd ~
mkdir develop
Install "sfml-pi" and Attract-Mode dependencies

sudo apt-get install cmake libflac-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libopenal-dev libjpeg62-turbo-dev libfreetype6-dev  libudev-dev libfontconfig1-dev
Download and build sfml-pi

cd ~/develop
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mickelson/sfml-pi sfml-pi
mkdir sfml-pi/build;cd sfml-pi/build
cmake .. -DSFML_RPI=1 -DEGL_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/vc/include -DEGL_LIBRARY=/opt/vc/lib/libEGL.so -DGLES_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/vc/include -DGLES_LIBRARY=/opt/vc/lib/libGLESv1_CM.so
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
Install (or download and build) FFmpeg

Method 1 (easiest): use provided packages (software video decoding only)
sudo apt-get install libavutil-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libavfilter-dev libswscale-dev libavresample-dev
Method 2: build FFmpeg with mmal support (hardware accelerated video decoding)
cd ~/develop
git clone --depth 1 git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git
cd ffmpeg

./configure --enable-mmal --disable-debug --enable-memalign-hack --enable-shared
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
Download and build Attract-Mode

cd ~/develop
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mickelson/attract attract
cd attract
make USE_GLES=1
sudo make install

1. Run Retropie Setup - S - Update RetroPie-Setup script
2. U - Update all installed packages

3.  Follow the instructions for setting up that you quoted all the way up to finishing installing FFmpeg.

cd ~
mkdir develop
Install "sfml-pi" and Attract-Mode dependencies

sudo apt-get install cmake libflac-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libopenal-dev libjpeg62-turbo-dev libfreetype6-dev  libudev-dev libfontconfig1-dev
Download and build sfml-pi

cd ~/develop
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mickelson/sfml-pi sfml-pi
mkdir sfml-pi/build;cd sfml-pi/build
cmake .. -DSFML_RPI=1 -DEGL_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/vc/include -DEGL_LIBRARY=/opt/vc/lib/libEGL.so -DGLES_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/vc/include -DGLES_LIBRARY=/opt/vc/lib/libGLESv1_CM.so
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

sudo apt-get install libavutil-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libavfilter-dev libswscale-dev libavresample-dev

cd ~/develop
git clone --depth 1 git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git
cd ffmpeg

./configure --enable-mmal --disable-debug --enable-memalign-hack --enable-shared
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

4. This next step is the only thing different that I did that seemed to make things work. Delete the current develop directory.
cd ~
rm -r -f develop

5. Remake the develop directory

cd ~
mkdir develop

6. Download, build and install the latest attract mode

cd ~/develop
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mickelson/attract attract
cd attract
make USE_GLES=1
sudo make install

When I did this, everything finally started working.
