Hi everyone, we've recently taken the feedback from everyone and made a new release (0.5.5) for AutoROM. In this release, you're able to bypass the requirement for torrenting if you already have the pre-torrented tar available. This should solve all™ of the issues at hand. To use the new release:

1. Download the tar.gz file from here.
2. Ensure that AutoROM is up to the latest version pip3 install autorom>=0.5.5.
3. Install the roms using the pre-installed tar.gz file AutoROM --accept-license --source-file path/to/Roms.tar.gz.

Disclaimer: The Roms.tar.gz are currently hosted on a personal GDrive account. For legal reasons these cannot be hosted on the main github repo. As such, availability of the Roms via GDrive is not guaranteed.

pip install autorom[accept-rom-license] returns
zsh: no matches found: autorom[accept-rom-license]

Workaround:
pip install "autorom[accept-rom-license]"

It does work on bash.

This error prevents me from running gym normally.Please fix this error as soon as possible

I was trying to run my algorithm on the Pong environment from PettingZoo for this project, but I kept getting errors. The first one is, when I try to install the multi agent ale package, it does not happen fully (I tried this in google colab and my local system). The second one is a consequence of the first one due to which I cannot run the environment. I have attached the images of the errors that I encountered at various stages.
In one of the images, there is a link to your github repository, which was given as reference for when there is an error, but I could not find anything that helped me with this problem nor any stackoverflow or github blog for that matter.

This is the code and the packages I have been trying to download:

!pip install gymnasium matplotlib numpy atari-py gym[atari,accept-rom-license]

!pip install ale-py gym[all] git --upgrade git+[https://github.com/openai/gym`](https://github.com/openai/gym%60)

!pip install gym[box2d]

!pip install pettingzoo

!pip install pymunk

!pip install multi_agent_ale_py autorom

from pettingzoo.atari import pong_v3
env = pong_v3.env(num_players=2)

Hi there,

I am facing the same issue in #24.

However, installing 0.4.2 does not solve the issue.

       File "/tmp/pip-install-ig3zv0fw/autorom-accept-rom-license_b5788b79c9fd43ae826c9bed60314c16/AutoROM.py", line 200, in torrent_tar_to_buffer

      RuntimeError: Tried to download ROMs 3 times, which have all failed, please try again or report this issue.

Note the 0.4.2 still refers to AutorROM.accept-rom-license-0.5.4.tar.gz:

I wonder if it is a license issue, but through the download page description I don't think it limits the download. Please correct me if I'm wrong, many thanks!

Hello, I ran the AutoROM.py and I can't seem to proceed from there,the terminal stays at the following line:
"I agree to not distribute these ROMs and wish to proceed: [Y/n]: y"

It would be helpful to know if running AutoROM to get those roms require access to certain websites because my network is monitored. I can then try to request access from my IT department.

Kindly assist me with this. Thank you.

Installed autorom but raised an error:

(https://github.com/PettingZoo-Team/AutoROM) "
OSError: rom boxing is not installed. Please install roms using AutoROM tool (

Expected: miniconda3/envs/workspace/lib/python3.7/site-packages/multi_agent_ale_py/ROM/{game}/{game.bin}

I run pip install autorom[accept-rom-license] on Ubuntu 18.04.5. Then it shows:

However, I have already installed pyproject-toml.

Issue

AutoRom install appears to no longer work. Looks like the process fails to connect to s2roms.cc.

Full Stacktrace

Running AutoRom -v gives the following:

An issue in openai/gym#3172 was reported that is actually an issue in AutoROM

They report that this blog post solves the issue which seems to be related to loading files with french characters but this is surprising as it will be still unicode characters
https://blog.csdn.net/weixin_42662776/article/details/128514253

Right now, ALL does something like this:

        AutoROM --accept-license
        python -m atari_py.import_roms $(python -c 'import site; print(site.getsitepackages()[0])')/multi_agent_ale_py/ROM

Which feel unnecessary.

I got the same error on Python 3.8 and 3.9. The following error prints out on Python 3.10:

Workaround was to install 0.42 explicitly: pip install AutoROM.accept-rom-license==0.4.2

Running AutoROM prints this:

$ AutoROM --install-dir atari
AutoROM will download the Atari 2600 ROMs.
They will be installed to:
        /home/aclrc/atari

Existing ROMs will be overwritten.

I own a license to these Atari 2600 ROMs.
I agree to not distribute these ROMs and wish to proceed: [Y/n]: n

I don't work for Atari. How can I answer yes without lying?

Is there any plan to build wheels for python 3.11? Thanks!
