Does anyone know a way to get TeknoParrot running through Attract Mode without rocket launcher?

Yes — you don’t need RocketLauncher at all.

Attract Mode can launch TeknoParrot directly using its command-line support. Set TeknoParrot as a normal emulator and point Attract Mode to the TeknoParrot profile XMLs (not the ROM folders). Use TeknoParrotCli.exe with --profile="[name]", where [name] matches the profile exactly.

It’s faster, cleaner, and avoids the extra layer RocketLauncher adds.

this is my configuration but teknoparrot doesn't start

executable           D:\emulatori\teknoparrot\TeknoParrotUi.exe
args                     --profile="or2spdlx"
workdir              D:\emulatori\teknoparrot
rompath              D:\emulatori\teknoparrot\userProfiles
romext               .xml

[alamo]

executable           cmd
args                 /c "[romfilename]"
workdir              D:\teknoparrot
rompath              D:\teknoparrot
romext               .lnk
artwork    flyer           $HOME/TeknoParrot/boxart
artwork    marquee         
artwork    snap            d:/TeknoParrot/snap
artwork    wheel           d:/TeknoParrot/logo

for each game write a .bat like this
start teknoparrotui.exe --startMinimized --profile=or2spdlx.xml

in d:/teknoparrot link the bat

the last problem is exit from the game

Here is how mine is setup.

First, use the Teknoparrot GUI to add a game.  This creates the game's XML file in the Teknoparrot\UserProfiles directory.

The just point your Attract Mode's rompath to that folder with xml as the rom extension.

# Generated by Attract-Mode Plus v3.0.0
#
executable           $PROGDIR\..\Emulators\Teknoparrot\TeknoParrotUi.exe
args                 --profile=[name].xml
rompath              $PROGDIR\..\Emulators\Teknoparrot\UserProfiles
workdir              $PROGDIR\..\Emulators\Teknoparrot
romext               .xml;<DIR>
system               Teknoparrot
artwork    boxart          $PROGDIR\..\Emulators\Teknoparrot\roms\boxart
artwork    cartart         $PROGDIR\..\Emulators\Teknoparrot\roms\cartart
artwork    flyer           $PROGDIR\..\Emulators\Teknoparrot\roms\flyer
artwork    marquee         $PROGDIR\..\Emulators\Teknoparrot\roms\marquee
artwork    snap            $PROGDIR\..\Emulators\Teknoparrot\roms\snap
artwork    wheel           $PROGDIR\..\Emulators\Teknoparrot\roms\wheel


No BAT or LNK files needed this way.
