Well I would take it one step at a time. Tackle the old mame version first. It is about 9:30 PM Eastern time. I would go into the chat room on here and ask some questions. Right now, Saint, Nivo, Sir Poonga, Peale(All moderators), and a bunch of others are on there. Just put your name in the top and ask your question. It may take a minute to get the answer, but more times than not it will come to you. If the chatroom doesn't fire up, you need to install java from their site. Takes seconds. After you establish the mame issue, then move on to the front end problems.
