testudo

RetroPie Version: 4.7.11
System: x86_64
OS: Ubuntu 20.4.4 LTS

Vexing issue trying to boot a specific Sega CD game, Annett Futatabi.
Issue: Game does not reach the Sega CD boot screen
Have tried:
Cores: lr-picodrive and lr-genesis-plus-gx
File Types: Bin/Cue and CHD
BIOS: US and Japan, named for each Core
ROMs: Multiple Checksum file versions

runcommand.log code:

Parameters: 
Executing:  --appendconfig /dev/shm/retroarch.cfg
/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 1304: eval: --: invalid option
eval: usage: eval [arg ...]

runcommand.sh code referenced above:

}

function launch_command() {
    local ret
    # escape $ to avoid variable expansion (eg roms containing $!)
    COMMAND="${COMMAND//\$/\\\$}"
    # launch the command
    echo -e "Parameters: $@\nExecuting: $COMMAND" >>"$LOG"
    if [[ "$CONSOLE_OUT" -eq 1 ]]; then
        # turn cursor on
        tput cnorm
        eval $COMMAND </dev/tty 2>>"$LOG"
        ret=$?
        tput civis
    else
        eval $COMMAND </dev/tty &>>"$LOG"
        ret=$?
    fi
    return $ret

Line 1304: eval $COMMAND </dev/tty &>>"$LOG"

Not sure what other information might be useful to diagnose, but happy to supply anything additional.

What's the actual name of the file you're launching (.cue, .chd) ? I think some characters from it might trigger this error in runcommand.

Annett Futatabi (Japan).chd
Annett Futatabi (Japan).cue

I just renamed the file to "Test.chd" and guess what, it boots! Thanks for the help.
