A-ha! The error's happening here, specifically:

eval $COMMAND </dev/tty &>>"$LOG"

&> redirects both stdout and stderr; it is much the same as doing >>"$LOG" 2>&1. It's this redirection of stdout that's breaking it.

Running manually:

./adom 2>>log.file

...worked fine, but changing that to:

./adom &>>log.file

...had the error (black screen, log.file says needs 80x25 screen to run on.

So we cannot redirect the stdout (because that's how the game is shown at all.) And it turns out, runcommand already has a trick to handle this! Just preface the emulator command with CON: to set the CONSOLE_OUT parameter, which tells it to only redirect stderr and not stdout.

@Addison I think this should work, then, if you leave everything else the same and just change your emulators.cfg to:

adom="CON:/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/adom/adom"
default="adom"

adom="CON:/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/adom/adom"
default="adom"

It works!

Such joy!

This is so cool to finally have the game available on the Pi. :)

But hey, the resolution is about 3/7ths of the entire screen display (1920x1080 TV).

Any command that can be added to the config file for full screen resolution?

It runs full screen here on my 1280x720 but I think it's just at my native console font size, which I've increased a long time ago (through raspi-config, I think) since the default is so tiny from my couch.

Alternatively, maybe setting a smaller screen-size video mode for adom (from the runcommand launch menu) would have the same effect?

ADOM - Ancient Domains Of Mystery.sh content:

#!/bin/bash"/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh" 0 PORT adom ""

This file thingy?

What would be added to make the screen size resolution smaller?

I meant the runcommand launch menu but I just tested it and that doesn't seem to work, you'll just have to increase the system's console font. And I was wrong about where that is too, it's not in raspi-config it's in RetroPie-Setup: configuration/tools > consolefont -- I'm using Medium (TerminusBold 14x28) but I'm on a smaller screen, so you might try the Large (TerminusBold 16x32) if it's still too small.

This will increase the font size used for the console terminal and Setup menus, too. I don't know an easy way to change it for just the game.

Actually, the display isn't all that bad.

The 3/7ths guess was based solely on the title screen.

It's more like 7/13ths in game which makes sense and should be fine. :)

Only request would be to have it all centered screen instead of being displayed on the left side margin.

Yeah I noticed that too when I was testing. It's nice and centered with a larger font:
