@alturis On my system, the BIOS folder is capitalized. It makes a difference in the path. They have to match exactly.

Hmm... I could try that but on my system, the bios folder is all lower case. At least when doing a ls command.

Oh no, would you look at that. Mine IS also all caps. Huh. I'll try that.

Son of a b**ch! How about that. It worked now. So what have we learned I guess?

AdvMame samples cannot be located in your /opt/retropie/configs folder
There may be more restrictions on this but the BIOS folder is a good place and also conveniently similar to mame2003 and fba.
Make sure your BIOS folder is properly capitalized. In windows, it will appear as "bios" when accessed via \\RETROPIE but in Linux it is actually "BIOS" most likely.
Make sure you update your /opt/retropie/configs/mame-advmame/advmame.rc file to have the dir_sample refer to the folder you create.

Thank you @caver01 for pointing out what a dolt I was. ;)

Edit: And for so diligently helping a guy out.

@alturis No problem. Hey, it had to be SOMETHING. I still think these files could be located anywhere the emulator can see. I would hate to waste more time on root cause, but I will say that for a time, several revs back, I was using a default location for AdvMAME samples before moving them to BIOS. It should work there.

Actually, nope. Again it was my error. Looking back at my previous posts this path does not exist.

dir_sample /home/pi/RetroPie/configs/mame-advmame/sample

I am sure it would have been fine if it just referred to a proper path

dir_sample /opt/retropie/configs/mame-advmame/sample

@alturis oh wow. I didn't even notice that. good catch.
