Mame32 0.146 Wont launch in Mame mode

[flashkickhero]

I saw posts and posts of all this regarding Mame 0.108 but i am having an issue with the newest version launching correctly. I Ran the update on my emulator games which now they are all viewing in MAME mode however, when i launch the game it loads to 0% then just says game over and takes me back to the main screen to hit play. I have disabled verticle game bezel and i created a Mame.ini file which i changed the Rom path to the correct path on my computer. I copied all the posts from way back but i keep getting the same results

Here is my Mame.ini file if that helps

My suggestion is to verify if MAME works correclty outside of GameEx.

[Draco1962]

Are you having the problem outside of GameEx or just when running MAME via GameEx? Also, you didn't indicate if you uploaded from one version of MAME to another. If you upgraded from 0.108 to 0.146, then you have all sorts of stuff to due to get your ROMs right and working with the new version.

As Alpha said, make sure you have it working right via MAME outside of GameEx. If not, while we may be able to assist in some way, our focus is making sure things are working right when you use the GameEx frontend.

verified just now. when i click mame.exe in its own folder it loads the roms and i am able to play all the ones that work. I got a bunch on there. it is only through gameex where it doesnt work and i changed the bezel to off and removed the command in the mame options to for the display thing. i been slamming my head on the table for like 2 hours already. Im not great at coding or setting up stuff but i was able to create the Mame.ini file and just copy and paste the paths that i knew.

[flashkickhero]

i removed my old mame from a long time ago and downloaded the newest mame version on the mame site. I just created the INI file like 1 hour ago from scratch. Mame works outside of Gameex. If i goto Emulated games and choose mame it also works but when i just select the MAME loader where you can set it up by itself. Thats where i am having the issue with the loading.

[AlphaUMi]

verified just now. when i click mame.exe in its own folder it loads the roms and i am able to play all the ones that work.

Just to clarify... that you can't click on MAME.exe and load roms. MAME is an only command line application. What you mean, maybe, is that you have a MAMEUI32.exe or a MAMEUI64.exe in your MAME folder. Is my assumption correct?

[ClassicGMR]

Actually that is incorrect Alpha. The screenshot attached is what you get if you run mame.exe by clicking on it.

I don't know if it always did that or if that is a recent modification but you can use the command line mame.exe to load. It's a very rudimentary interface but it works.

[flashkickhero]

When i doubleclick mame.exe i get that attachment classic GMR posted. When i launch gameex and goto emulated roms the game will launch. When i goto MAME the organized section i can see the roms and when i launch one i believe veritcle and horizontle it will get to the loaded screen on Mame and then close before it gets to the bios screen and all the coin stuff
