        @thebear123 You probably have the wrong romset. You need to provide more information. Also read https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Arcade/

            @thebear123 Then we will need more information as detailed in the post I linked. a log from runcommand would be useful also.

                @thebear123 press a key when launching the rom, and launch in "verbose mode" from runcommand. Then paste the runcommand log from /dev/shm/runcommand.log (accessible via sftp or ssh)

                You don't mention which rom you are launching. Perhaps you can give the filename and contents etc.

                    @thebear123 my mistake (I was thinking of the libretro core) - just launch normally, and the log file will be available afterwards.

                        @thebear123 did you unpack the roms? - looks like you have the wrong rom names - they also should not be unpacked and do not contain spaces. Please show me the rom you are trying to launch.

                          @buzz Does it matter What the names are? Really? Then Thats probably Why They stopped working in the first place!

                            Don't rename anything, no roms, nothing. Keep all as is or you'll be in all sorts of trouble! So did you unzip them? What is the rom?

                              @thebear123 Yes. It very much matters in MAME. The emulator is looking for a specific ROM name as MAME ROMs have a standard naming convention.
