Games won't launch
« on: December 19, 2016, 10:41:23 AM »
So finally got attract installed on a clean raspian install.  I can see the roms in the attract man display but cannot launch any games they just flicker when selected.  I know its probably how ive set the config when adding the emulator but cannot see any info on what exe path to use or command path or additional file path.
Also it seems that the robospin display is missing can this be manually added..

a simple installed AM, doesn't contain any emulator system. because it's only a frontend ^-^
if you want emulator systems enclosed use AM-retropie-image from here instead
or install specific emulator system (e.g. zsnes) manually step by step:
the correct parameter line of specific emulator => google or here



e.g. zsnes

>install emulator system:
sudo apt-get install zsnes

>start emulator and configure it (joystick input, fullscreen and so on):
zsnes

>check executable:
whereis zsnes
=> in this case : \usr\bin\zsnes

>create rom-folder and copy roms there (e.g. /home/your_name/ROMs/zsnes

>configure emulator-system in AM
emulator name     zsnes
executable     /usr/bin/zsnes
command arguments     -m "[romfilename]"
rom path(s)     /home/install/ROMs/zsnes
rom extension(s)     .smc



>missing display:
close AM > download your display file > extract .zip > move it to /usr/share/attract/layouts > start AM & configure your display
