Launching ROM sends me back to ROM list

[overlord73978]

Pi Model: Pi 3 - Model B
RetroPie Version Used: 4.1
Built From: Pre-made image on official RetroPie website
USB Devices connected: Keyboard, SNES style controller
Controller used: PS3 Controller
Error messages received: No errors
Log found in /dev/shm/runcommand.log (if relevant): see below
Guide used: N/A
File: /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-mame4all/DKONG.ZIP or any other rom
Emulator: Mame-mame4all
Attachment of config files: n/a
How to replicate the problem: Select ROM from the menu of any system specified above, the screen fades to black as if it is loading the rom, then the rom list appears again.

This is in /dev/shm/runcommand.log when launched with verbose logging

/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 941:  1928 Bus error               /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-imame4all/mame2000_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/mame-mame4all/retroarch.cfg "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-mame4all/DKONG.ZIP" --verbose --appendconfig /dev/shm/retroarch.cfg 

The bus error points to this in runncommand.sh

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

Mostly copied and pasted this to appease BuZz

@overlord73978 It's not just to appease me - it's to aid everyone to best help you.

Regarding how to know what romset you have - which was asked on the other thread - you would need to either know from where you obtained it, or you could compare it with a dat file.

Also, if using a RPI3, you would do better to use lr-mame2003

@overlord73978 Your romset (game zip file) is not compatible with the emulator you are using. Most commonly this is because the the romset version does not match that required by the emulator. More details on what to do on your other thread but it's basically:
