Crashing

[emphatic]

Hi,

I've not had any trouble with GameEx since getting everything setup the first time.

Not until now, that is. I'm using ZetaMame as my executable (because I think it simply looks even better than AdvanceMame) and since 4.90, I've not been able to start GameEx as usual.

Here's my log:
