      Baaa not sure what im doing here re pastebin. Sorry.

      <script src="//pastebin.com/embed_js/28Nds82r"></script>

      the MAME 2003.cfg isnt that big so thought I'd chuck it in too.

      Generated by Attract-Mode v2.0.0

      executable /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh
      args args 0 SYS mame-mame4all"[romfilename]"
      rompath /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-mame4all
      romext .zip
      system Arcade

      Thanks for the help.

        Looks like you need a space, so like this, and take the double args out, so this line for the arguments

        0 _SYS_ mame-mame4all "[romfilename]"

            Fantastic, thanks @Floob tried what you wrote in that first post after mine and it still wasnt working but then looking at your pastebin i see that i didnt put in the two underscores before and after the SYS. Working now. Sweet, thanks.

            While I've got you anther issue ive got is that my exit game is also set to exit Attract Mode, and prompts me to do so when exiting out of a game. I'll have a look in the controls to see if i can un-set this for Attract.

            Thanks again to all.

              TAB - Controls - Exit (Confirm) Then remove the Escape key and add whichever key you would like.

                Champion @Finhead, all sorted. All working well, now to start populating the interface with images and the link.

                Thanks :)

                  I have a Attract Mode issue as well.
                  When using a wireless ps3 controller in the menu I experience a lot of lag. Both on video snaps and when scrolling through my games. When I enter a game everything works just fine though.
                  Any thoughts on how to fix this is highly appreciated.

                    @Brigane What size are the snaps. Standard Qulality at about 1MB should work fine.

                    Some layouts do feel sluggish when scrolling - try some others to see if it makes a difference. See my videos for examples.

                      @Floob The videosnaps are as they should be aprox. (1MB) and everything is just fine when I turn the ps3 controller off. I have no issues when scrolling through the menu with my wireless keyboard.
