      We need runcommand.log file the location for this file is /dev/log/shm .

      Arcade games aren't like consoles games (snea, nes...). You have to much the rom set with emulator you want to use. Please read the docs about arcade games, it will help a lot :https://retropie.org.uk/docs/MAME/

        @abj All the patience in the world! Thank you! I didn't understand correctly, sorry, the problem is that these roms are not suitable for "mame2003"?
        The path to the log file, I can't find it, there must be a "dev" folder?

          For lr-mame2003 you need the MAME 0.78 Rom set version.

          This means that you have to search for mame 0.78 roms.

            Ok solved! But now I have another problem, the game pad was recognized by emulationstation but when I launch the game it doesn't respond at all, no buttons, and then I can't hear the audio, any advice? Thanks for your patience!

              Hi, the games are playing, I tried to look in the audio configuration and the output device seems correct, when the games start this message appears !Press button to configure, errors are logged to /dev/shm/runcommand.log" but I can't find this path, where should it be? I don't see a "dev" folder, can you help me?

                  @bethory At the bottom of your picture, do you see the input where it says enter tags ? That's where you need to add the tags.

                      This message is the runcommand launch menu, it's not an error message. It's appearing every time you start a game. More info here : https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Runcommand/.

                        Ok regarding the message I saw, but I can't get the audio, I reset the audio to default settings but nothing to do, it works well with other operating systems, any advice?
