Boot to specific rom

Post by Matt68061 » Mon Oct 22, 2018 11:11 pm

Can someone remind me how to boot to a specific rom? Auto load a game

Im in the run.sh file and cant get it to boot directly to (mpatrol in this case) at startup??

Certain I am missing a / or something simple?

Thanks in advance for any help!

What have you tried already in run.sh? It should work like this:
/boot/launchers/mame078.sh nbajam >/dev/null 2>&1
(this example runs NBA Jam in MAME 078 (2003))

For Moon Patrol in AdvMAME you would want:
/boot/launchers/advmame.sh mpatrol >/dev/null 2>&1

For Moon Patrol in 172:
/boot/launchers/mame172.sh mpatrol >/dev/null 2>&1

I'm assuming you have it in AdvMAME or 172, let me know if this isn't right or you still can't get it to work.
