flycast linux configuration
« on: December 07, 2024, 09:23:12 AM »
I'm attempting to install the flycast emulator under attractmode on the archlinux os.  Just starting out with linux trying to learn as I go. 
I installed and run flycast sucessfully using the flatpak distribution.  I tried to add the emulator to attractmode with no success

Here is my config file

executable           /var/lib/flatpak/app/org.flycast.Flycast
args                 run org.flycast.Flycast"[romfilename]"
workdir              $HOME/Arcade/
rompath              $HOME/shared/roms/flycast/Naomi/
romext               .zip
system               naomi
info_source          thegamesdb.net
exit_hotkey          Escape
artwork    flyer           $HOME/Flycast/boxart
artwork    marquee         
artwork    snap            $HOME/Flycast/videos;$HOME/Flycast/snap
artwork    wheel           

I have also used these executables: flatpak
and
/var/lib/flatpak/app/org.flycast.Flycast/x86_64/stable/8dc0124d95695944ee92150d843746f7a22ef4bdb4333f7be466bfe916e63009/export/bin/org.flycast.Flycast

each time a window appears to open briefly then closes. 

Can anyone point me in the right direction
