It would make a difference if your mame.cmd file and the emulator you're trying to run were on different drives.  It will cause an error in that case.  However since the folder you're CDing to is on the same drive as the current drive, there's no error.  You can use the drive letter in the CD command but you have to add a /D parameter.  I knew it didn't contribute to your problem, but I wanted to correct it in case you reconfigure things down the road which might cause the error.

TheManuel:
Gotcha.
I think I'm going to rewrite that so that it includes the /D parameter even if it is redundant right now so that I don't screw up in the future.

Would this be the correct syntax?
cd /D D:\MAME\Emulator\MAMEplus_Intel_0.104

SGT:
Yep:

--- Code: ---CD [/D] [drive:][path]
--- End code ---

For just about any dos command, you can add a /? from the command prompt  to get the description and the syntax.  For example:

--- Code: ---CD /?
--- End code ---

Which yields:

--- Quote ---Displays the name of or changes the current directory.

CHDIR [/D] [drive:][path]
CHDIR [..]
CD [/D] [drive:][path]
CD [..]

  ..   Specifies that you want to change to the parent directory.

Type CD drive: to display the current directory in the specified dr
Type CD without parameters to display the current drive and directo

Use the /D switch to change current drive in addition to changing c
directory for a drive.

If Command Extensions are enabled CHDIR changes as follows:

The current directory string is converted to use the same case as
the on disk names.  So CD C:\TEMP would actually set the current
directory to C:\Temp if that is the case on disk.

CHDIR command does not treat spaces as delimiters, so it is possibl
CD into a subdirectory name that contains a space without surroundi
the name with quotes.  For example:

    cd \winnt\profiles\username\programs\start menu

is the same as:

    cd "\winnt\profiles\username\programs\start menu"

which is what you would have to type if extensions were disabled.

Thank you.

I think this whole thread may have been made obsolete.
