      I love you both!

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

        Raspberry Pi 3B+ (bought from CanaKit)
        RetroPie 4.4 (official image)
        Flirc Gen 2 case, 2.5A power supply (UL listed)
        SanDisk 128 Evo Plus (U3) microSD card
        'Arcade1up' joysticks and buttons
        Logitech K400 wireless keyboard

        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!
