      I'm having a problem getting the different MAME cores to be set from the .recalbox.conf files.

      These are the only .recalbox.conf files in my entire system:

      ┣ 📁 recalbox
      ┃ ┣ 📁 share
      ┃ ┃ ┣ 📁 roms
      ┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 📁 mame
      ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 📁 AdvanceMame
      ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 🗒 .recalbox.conf
      ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 📁 Mame2000
      ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 🗒 .recalbox.conf
      ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 📁 Mame2003
      ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 🗒 .recalbox.conf
      ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 📁 Mame2003-Plus
      ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 🗒 .recalbox.conf
      ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 📁 Mame2010
      ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 🗒 .recalbox.conf
      ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 📁 Mame2015
      ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 🗒 .recalbox.conf

      And these are the contents of my .recalbox.conf files respectively:

      mame.emulator=libretro
      mame.core=advancemame
      
      mame.emulator=libretro
      mame.core=mame2000
      
      mame.emulator=libretro
      mame.core=mame2003
      
      mame.emulator=libretro
      mame.core=mame2003_plus
      
      mame.emulator=libretro
      mame.core=mame2010
      
      mame.emulator=libretro
      mame.core=mame2015
      

      Yet when I try to launch any game from any MAME directory, it seems they all try to launch using the default Mame2003Plus core. When I try to fix the core manually from Start-> Edit Game 'xxx' -> Run With (which are always set to Libretro MAME2003_PLUS (Default)) to the correct core, the game works so it seems like I have a problem with my .recalbox.conf files.

      What am I missing please?

        Found the issue in my AdvanceMame .recalbox.conf file.

        Now changed it to:

        mame.emulator=advancemame
        mame.core=advancemame
