Maybe try this, it's from another post with a similar issue.

"AM needs to be run in Admin mode (Right click, properties, Run as admin), even when logged in to windows with an admin account."

if only it were that easy :/
well ill keep messing around with it, seems strange that you can start it from CMD but not in attract mode

[lordricker]

so i put this in the config file for attract mode and it does open up galaga as expected, i was just trying to match what we put in cmd

so i guess the question is how to get it to recognize the different roms??

Post your romlist.txt.

[lordricker]

here is the romlist.txt

[lordricker]

the only difference i can see between "[romfilename]" and the one that works is there is a forward slash instead of back slash

*** Running: "C:\mame\ShmupArch6\ShmupArch6\retroarch.exe" -f -L "C:\mame\ShmupArch6\ShmupArch6\cores\fbneo_libretro.dll" "C:\mame\ShmupArch6\ShmupArch6\roms/galaga.zip"

that was romfilename

*** Running: "C:\mame\ShmupArch6\ShmupArch6\retroarch.exe" -f -L "C:\mame\ShmupArch6\ShmupArch6\cores\fbneo_libretro.dll" "C:\mame\ShmupArch6\ShmupArch6\roms\galaga.zip"

this was the one that worked but its typed in just like that in args

You set attract.exe to run as admin in properties, correct?

Try these and provide the last_run.log for each of them if none of them work. Make sure you copy and paste these since they each have small differences you might or might not notice.

thank you progets for sticking around trying to figure this out.

I'm glad you got it working. You can probably remove the "nb_mode_wait         5" line since that wasn't the issue.
