Hi again - through much fudging and fiddling I've now managed to get the cpc6128 collection to run in the desired way. Probably in the new year I'll post a little tutorial should anyone wish to take a look. You were correct about snes & sms being rom/bios issues. I had the incorrect versions. All working wonderfully now. Thanks to everyone for their contributions.
Have a great Christmas and Happy New Year!

Thanks for suggestions with file renaming but the 6128 launcher is having none of it. The launchers that aren't working are the ones that I posted .conf files for: SMS, SNES and 6128. Even downloaded the missing rom for snes - still no joy.
I'll try to unpick these, figure them out for myself and see how it goes. Just thought it could save time if someone had working .conf launcher files they could share, but no worries.
Once cracked - I will post my findings, should anyone else find them useful for troubleshooting.
Thanks again folks.

I understood nss to be correct. Perhaps I've misinterpreted along the way.
I've attached the latest log, 6128.conf and sms/snes just in case you spot something.
Thanks in advance.

I have the nss (nintendo super system) bios in the main mame/roms directory.
when running mame/snes from command line it loads up, but I don't actually know how to load a rom. So when exiting, I get the following:
m50458-001sp ROM NEEDS REDUMP
m50458_char.bin ROM NEEDS REDUMP
WARNING: the machine might not run correctly.

Also have the master system bios in the main mame/roms directory.
when running mame/sms from the command line, I get nothing but the following error:
mpr-12808.ic2 NOT FOUND (tried in sms sms)
FATALERROR: Required files are missing, the machine cannot be run.

log file attached.

My 6128 launcher conf is located with all the other .conf files within the launchers.windows folder.
Also I tried changing the system name to 'snes' and the screen blinked for a split second then returned to RFE. This is the same thing that happens with master system. There is nothing in the log.txt to indicate an error of any kind.

Thanks. I've checked my amstrad cpc6128.conf against others and the executable matches. Still not working. snes and master system also not working. Any suggestions are welcome. Even better, is if someone has working .conf files for those 3 systems that they could provide as a reference.

I have a launcher CONF file called "Amstrad CPC 6128" with the following arguments:

= cpc6128 -cart "ITEM_FILEPATH%"

Thanks both. The difference-maker also seemed to be the absence of 'inverted commas', but my snes and amstrad collections are still not working. I shall have another tinker...

Thanks, funnily enough I figured out that I was referencing mame instead of 'Nintendo Entertainment System'. I have the nintendo super system bios stored in the mame/roms directory, but still having no joy.
RFE can see the roms for the respective systems, but refuses to launch... Guessing something still wrong with launcher file syntax :(

ok. are you able to tell me how my nes settings conf should look?
also, should nes roms sit in the mame/roms folder, or can they sit in a seperate nes/roms folder? I know mame is picky about the location of roms.

Thanks for replying, however I have that argument for NES already. My NES conf file is as follows:

executable = ..\emulators\MAME\mame0162b_64bit\mame64.exe
arguments = nes -cart "%ITEM_FILEPATH%"

Back again (hopefully for the last time). I'm trying to launch genesis/nes/snes roms from RFE but using Mame.
I can fiddle and get mame to launch the various systems outside of RFE, but I don't get the same results from within.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, or does anyone have a similar config that allows them to use mame and launch multiple systems?
