Hey guys, Happy to have found attract-mode. It is a great project. Unfortunately, I am about to pull my hair out and need this community's help.
I have attract-mode installed (2.6.1) and configured (what I believe to be properly) and added MAME .0221 / (SDLMAME64) as an emulator. Rom paths appear to be correct as adding to collections and mapping artwork assets is working fine.
When I launch any MAME rom from attract-mode it fades to black, launches the game in question, and then freezes within seconds. When it freezes, the game (at whatever point in the "boot process") remains displayed on the screen and cannot be exited using hotkeys. I cannot navigate away in any fashion whatsoever unless I do a force-quit via OSX keyboard shortcut and even then it takes 2-5 attempts.
This is universal across all rooms. The only difference is how far it makes it into the checksum display or nag screen before freezing at that point. All roms without exception launch from MAME via command line or the M64 executable flawlessly.
Any help whatsoever would be super appreciated!!!

Mac OSX High Sierra (newest available OS for my system)
