Advmame not loading.

Post by cool_factor » Wed May 03, 2023 3:42 pm

From attract mode load advmame rom and attempts to load, goes black, screen then back to attract mode. Ran advmame from a command prompt and it loads then says it can't find the rom files yet they are in the mame-106 folder. This is a new problem as they use to load and play. I've been messing with getting that GRS Star Wars yoke to work but those roms are all in 172,203, 230. I've sort of got those working, waiting on Dee2er to confirm settings he told me about. Any ideas what broke advmame from loading?

FIXED:

In advmame.rc file everything in red was missing, games are now booting, not sure what or how it disappeared but its working.


dir_artwork /home/pi/.advance/artwork:/usr/local/share/advance/artwork:/boot/previews/mameArtwork
dir_image /home/pi/.advance/image:/usr/local/share/advance/image:/boot/romsArcade/bios:/boot/romsArcade/mame-106
dir_rom /home/pi/.advance/rom:/usr/local/share/advance/rom:/boot/romsArcade/mame-106:/boot/romsArcade/bios
dir_sample /home/pi/.advance/sample:/usr/local/share/advance/sample:/boot/sample

odd, probably just something I've missed(?), unless the whoel file reverted to defaults or something.
