      Ok so my setup is this...

      Raspberry Pi 3B+
      RetroPie 4.4
      Official PSU in a Flickr case
      SanDisk 200GB MicroSD Card
      Logitech F70 Joypad (wireless)
      Generic Microsoft Branded USB Keyboard

      and I've been doing a clean build, and installed all my emulators and games from scratch, and left MAME until last as it always has been the simplest for me to setup.... until now... and I'm baffled, and probably overlooking something really stupid, so if one of you could point me in the right direction that would be cool :)

      So everything else works fine, even MAME4ALL and FBA, but Advanced MAME doesn't load any games.

      I am using the 106 ROM Set (Not Merged), and this ROM Set was working with Advanced MAME 1.4 on my 3B with RetroPie 4.3.

      But I have also loaded Advanced MAME on my PC, and used the ROMs on that, just to ensure I'm not losing my mind.

      But on my new Pi with the new RetroPie image... Not Found error

      Any thoughts/suggestions? Anyone else running into problems?

        @jono Looks like a configuration file issue for advmame, not knowing where to look for ROMs. Did you do any configurations and changed the ROM dir (dir_rom) ?

          @jono You might just have a bad ROM file.

          Have you unzipped it to see if those files are in there?. I can tell you that I have been running the same .106 ROM with Advancemame since version 1.2 (so, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 when that finally was available on the Pi). Eventually, I switched to lr-mame2003, but I am still using the .106 ROM (shhh, don't tell anyone I never swapped it for a .78 ROM). That tells me that it really has not changed over several versions of MAME between .78 to .106. If you have another romset for lr-mame2003 for instance, give it a whirl.

          In another thread a while back a few folks confirmed that there are plenty of incomplete or just plain incorrect romsets out there. This is mostly problematic with support files like the samples or artwork, but as I said, you might just have a bad missle.zip..

          EDIT: I just re-read your message. My assumptions are off based on the additional details you listed. Have you checked the .rc file for the version of Advancemame you are running? If that file points to a different directory for roms, advmame will not work even if you specified the right rom in the commandline.

            I love you both!

            Yeah, the rc file had the wrong path in... all sorted, many thanks :)

              Sorry I know this thread is old but I have the exact same problem with my MAME setup as described from the OP.

              From /opt/retropie/configs/mame-advmame/advmame.rc, I have this for my rom directories:

              dir_rom /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-advmame:/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade

              Yet, I still get the runcommand.log output:

              I also have the ROM set 0.106 (non-merged) for AdvMAME 1.4 that worked fine with my old Pi 3 with Retropie 4.3 setup but with my new setup it doesn't work. I didn't change anything in the config files and assumed the defaults. Anyone know what else I can try to figure this problem out or is the path wrong in the default config?

                @raspy are you using advmame 1.4? If so, the .rc file path you listed is a different one.

                  Sorry I should have mentioned that I tried using both Advmame and Advmame 1.4 since both emulators use the same ROM set 0.106 as per Retropie wiki.

                  EDIT:
                  I looked at both advmame.rc and advmame-1.4.rc as well as advmame-0.94.rc. All 3 are showing:

                  dir_rom /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-advmame:/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade

                    What's the content of your 1942.zip file ? Does it match the output of the missing .bin files ?

                      @raspy and something you have not share but must be asked, where are your rom files located, specifically the path to 1942.zip?

                        Yes the contents in "1942.zip" for example does match the files that are said to be missing from the runcommand.log file.

                        @caver01

                        I just follow the retropie wiki and I have the file "1942.zip" located at "./Retropie/roms/mame-advmame".

                          @raspy hmmm. Head scratcher for sure. Might need to see a pastebin of your .rc files. Is this failure the same with any rom or just 1942? What about other emulators? Are you trying any other versions of MAME for example?

                          Could it be a permissions issue?

                            @raspy Can you run

                            ls -l $HOME/.advance

                            and post the output ? The configuration file is ok, but it might not be interpreted by advmame. Normally the output of the command should be somethine like

                            lrwxrwxrwx 1 pi pi 34 Jan  3 16:14 /home/pi/.advance -> /opt/retropie/configs/mame-advmame

                                That's might be the problem. The $HOME/.advance should be a symbolic link to the /opt/retropie/configs/mame-advmame - from where you posted your .rc files.
                                Can you try renaming the folder (mv $HOME/.advance $HOME/.advance.orig) and re-installing the advmame package (the 3.x one, without any version) ?

                                  Okay I will try that later tonight (been working 12 hour shifts...). It's weird because I don't know why it wasn't a symbolic link to start with when I started off with a fresh install of retropie 4.4 and all I did was remove all the emulator packages so that I could choose only the emulators that I wanted to install from source.

                                    Okay I tried reinstalling "advmame" from the source again as you suggested and now the permissions look like this:

                                    lrwxrwxrwx 1 pi pi 34 Jan  9 08:01 /home/pi/.advance -> /opt/retropie/configs/mame-advmame

                                    First run with "1942.zip" is now working! Thank you!
