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 :(

Your log shows the same problem as before. You're using the generic MAME launcher rather than the tg16 one with the correct parameters.

Agent47 is correct. Your TurboGrafx settings.conf also uses the line
launcher = mame
It's the same problem as your NES collection had.

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...

As always: please post your log file where you fail to load one of those games. I'll happily take a look. :) I've got both SNES and Amstrad working via MAME, so we should be able to figure this one out.

Your launcher is set to Amstrad CPC 6128, but that launcher does not appear to exist.

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

= cpc6128 -cart "ITEM_FILEPATH%"

The launcher file exists, but according to the log the executable isn't defined in it properly (or at all). The %ITEM_FILEPATH% variable in the arguments you posted is missing the leading % as well.

Maybe I'm missing it while reading on my phone, but I don't see the Amstrad CPC 6128.conf being loaded. I see an Amstrad GX4000...

Whoops, you're correct. I was reading the log quickly on my way out the door and mistook it parsing the launcher assignment in the settings.conf as finding the launcher file itself.

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.

Where do you have your cpc6128 launcher file? Like Pieter said, that launcher isn't listed in your log meaning RetroFE can't find it. Regarding snes, you're not using the correct system name in your arguments for that launcher. You're using "nss" when you should be using "snes" instead. Your master system launcher looks correct though.
