Thank you I tried on 2 games and it works perfectly you were very kind to dedicate your time to me, do you have any advice for Aamber pegasus and Acorn Archimedes?

So some site where you can find the command lines of the various systems? Thank you again I wish you a good day

I never tried MAME for the Archimedes, but I believe that it currently may not work.

For the Aamber Pegasus pegasus_cart softlist.
LaunchBox Default Command Line Parameters
pegasus -rom1

Launching a game gives you the option of playing the game (or accessing the monitor via key M).
To play the game press the key corresponding to the first letter of the game title.
Example
to play Invaders, press I.

For help on command line parameters try Arcade Italia or Progetto Emma's Project MESS.
There may be other help online or here on the forums.

Thank you very much I don't know how to thank you everything works even Aamber Pegasus, only f14 does not start when it loads it tells me error, thanks again

F14 starts ok for me without any error.
However, the game freezes after a few seconds of gameplay.
The time until it locks up varies between levels.
I've heard that it plays ok on Atomulator, although I've not used that emulator
