Problems with Retroarch + Attract Mode + Lubuntu 16.04

[Manual do Fliperama]

I am moving all my arcades for Linux. Using the MAME emulator, the NeoGeo games were slow to an older hardware one of the arcades.
Testing the games of Neogeo by Retroarch, the games run well.. I am using the following configuration for this system in Atrract Mode:

Code: [Select]

# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.1.0-1-dirty
#
executable           /usr/bin/retorarch <----It was misspelled.
args                -L /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libretro/fb_alpha_neo_libretro.so "[romfilename]"
rompath              $HOME/sistemas/neogeo/roms
romext               .zip;.7z;<DIR>
system               Arcade
info_source          thegamesdb.net
artwork    flyer           
artwork    marquee         $HOME/sistemas/neogeo/marquee
artwork    snap            $HOME/sistemas/neogeo/snap
artwork    wheel           $HOME/sistemas/neogeo/wheel

Unfortunately, the NeoGeo games do not start using the frontend Attract Mode. Can anyone help me solve this problem? What are the correct arguments for Retroarch on Linux?

I'm in the same boat with linux.
I can get the roms to run via command line but not from attract mode.
There used to be a debug or verbose command you could run so you can see attracts output in the command line but I can't remember it.

FYI you spelled retroarch wrong in your executable line.

You know what the problem was? try to work things with sleep. It just worked to correct the "retorarch"   

God sends the right people at the right times. Thank you very much. 

The correct configuration is / A configuração correta é:

Does not work for me for some reason.

It works now.
looks like my rom list was corrupt.

I regenerated the list and now stuff launches.

for some reason, did not generate the list by retroarch. As in MAME generated only modified the emulator and I used the roms list created by MAME.

There was a bug (I can't find the reference now) in the linux version that would not load the games from the command line...thus how attract mode loads games...it looks like this has been solved....
