[RESOLVED] Commodore stuck on ready screen Empty [RESOLVED] Commodore stuck on ready screen

Hi all, I have most of the emulators working in Retrobat and I love it, this package is incredible and thanks for all the work you put into it.

But I can't get commodore 64 to work.   I click on the roms, and most of them go to the blue screen and just get stick on "Ready".    A few load but most dont, and I have tried every available core in advanced.    When I go into the retrobat emulator directory and load the roms manually through retroarch it works perfectly.

Is there some command I am missing to make the commodore actually attempt to load the rom, instead of just waiting at the ready screen?

Hello,

could you give us the exact names of a few problematic roms?

I solved the issue, but for the life of me I cant figure out the underlying issue.  Here are the details,

The c64 roms I am using are from  Motion.Blue.Unified.Rom.Sets-PiPiggies a torrent I found with lots of roms.

I noticed that the roms that ended with (Europe) worked and the ones that ended with (USA) didnt work.   I thought it was a region thing, so I played with that, no luck.  Out of desperation I renamed the rom file to REMOVE the (USA).   And it worked.   So I batch removed ALL of the (USA) strings from all my rom files, and all my thumbnail files, and it works.

Super odd, I have no explantation for why the (USA) string caused this error.   It works fine in retroarch when I manually load it, but not through retrobat.

@hanexs FWIW, i had this same issue. But thanks to your tip, I removed the (USA) from the filename and the roms now load correctly from ES frontend.
