      @mediamogul I am running all of the games that use spinners in Advancedmame. So far, this is the only one that doesn't work. I have Tempest up and running for example.

      Mouse support for the other emulators seems spotty at best and spinner games are basically unplayable on a regular controller.

        Launch it again, let it fail, then post the contents of /dev/shm/runcommand.log.

          @mediamogul The contents are as follows:

          A quick look at the contents of my rom, though, shows all these files to be there:

          Perhaps there is a missing pointer?

            Can you confirm that the ROM paths listed in /opt/retropie/configs/mame-advmame/advmame.rc read as:

            dir_rom /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-advmame:/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade
            

            Also, can you confirm that the 'Discs of Tron' ROM files are indeed located in either of those two directories on your RetroPie setup and not in any sub directories for example?

              @mediamogul That worked! The rom path along with the samples and artwork paths were incorrect. Changing them to reflect their actual location in the arcade folder (which I am using) allowed the game to run!

              Thank you so much for your help!

                Not a problem. Glad to hear it's working.
