Retroarch MAME core keeps crashing

Hey guys,

So I’m having an issue where anytime I try to load a game using the MAME (No year) core it keeps crashing. Specifically, I’m using to try to launch ColecoVision and Atari 5200. I checked the log after the crash, and there are no errors in the log. My BIOS files are in the same file as the ROMs. My retroarch install is in a “…/emulators/retroarch” directory, my roms are in “…/roms/atari 5200” directory.

I start up Retroarch, Load MAME core, go to load content, try to load the bios (or a rom), and then get the crash message.

I haven’t really seen anyone else with this exact issue, so does anyone know what could be wrong?

MAME is (mostly) for arcade machine emulation. You should seek out more dedicated console emulator cores for things like Atari 5200.
