aye aye aye
no dice.

that last one seemed promising

[progets]

Post your C:\mame\ShmupArch6\ShmupArch6\last_run.log file.

[lordricker]

ok looks like i had to turn logging on, i think this is the file

[progets]

That's a retroarch log file. We need the attractmode log file. Post your C:\mame\ShmupArch6\ShmupArch6\last_run.log file.

[lordricker]

got confused cause retro arch is shmuparch6, i almost posted the attract mode log since it sounded like that was what you wanted
anyways here is the attract mode log

[progets]

That log file doesn't show any failed game launches. Run attractmode, start a game or two that fail to load, exit attractmode and then copy the last_run.log file so we can see the game launch errors.

[lordricker]

hmm. is it possible it is technically starting it the closing? when start a game it goes out of attract mode then black screen for a second or two then back into attractmode game select
tried three different ones on this on all with that result

[progets]

Try this. It will cause a delay for the game to load so give it a little time. If it doesn't work provide the updated last_run.log.

[lordricker]

well that makes the black screen last longer

[progets]

Your executable and args don't match what is above in the log. Changing these will also change your working directory which is not correct in the log.

[lordricker]

sorry i guess im confused, not sure how the logs dont match the executable and args if that is what the logs were pulled from?

[progets]

Post your current attract mode emulator.cfg file.

[lordricker]

here is the emulator config for attractmode

[progets]

That doesn't point to an executable. Change it to this.
