Atomisewave AttractMode

[cyclair]

Good morning all,

I have a problem with the atomiswave. I have the flycast core compatible roms which works very well in retroarch directly, no problem.
But as soon as I want to go through attractmode, the roms do not start, return to menu directly.
While in retroarch the games work perfectly. Do you know where the problem can come from?

Here is my .cfg : # Generated by Attract-Mode v2.6.0
#
executable           E:\AttractMode\RetroArch\retroarch.exe
args                 "[romfilename]" -L cores/flycast_libretro.dll
rompath              E:\AttractMode\Roms\Atomiswave
romext               .zip
exit_hotkey          Joy0 Button11
artwork    flyer           
artwork    marquee         
artwork    snap            E:\AttractMode\Roms\Atomiswave\Snap
artwork    wheel           E:\AttractMode\Roms\Atomiswave\Wheel

thank you in advance

Try changing your argument to put your switches first. Try to change your argument to use a relative path or full path. You can add a "working directory" path in the settings but I've never needed it for RetroArch.

Thank you for your answer, I have already tested the different Args, but nothing has changed, the games cannot be launched by attractmode

Do you have other systems setup using RetroArch? What are their settings?

Did you try the working directory option in your emulator configuration?

[cyclair]

Yes I run many other systems with retroarch without worries. For example Naomi, Mame, Neogeo, etc.

Example of my other Args

*Naomi : "[romfilename]" -L cores/flycast_libretro.dll
*NeoGeo : "[romfilename]" -L cores/fbalpha2012_neogeo_libretro.dll
*Dreamcast : "[romfilename]" -L cores/flycast_libretro.dll
*Saturn : "[romfilename]" -L cores/mednafen_saturn_libretro.dll
*Snes : "[romfilename]" -L cores/snes9x_libretro.dll

No worries, it works great. Just the Atomisewaves which work in retroarch but not in attractmode. What I do not understand.

So finally found, here it can be used for another, here is the good Args for the Atomisewave under retroarch with the Flycast core.

The happy ones are finally working under AttractMode. Thank you

Please show me string from the command line you use to launch retroarch do not start the game with the gui please

cmd.exe and use the command line and start a game that way then post it here. (please remember to replace your user name with the word user..as this is a "public" forum..)
