The specific game I problem solved enough to say it definitively occuring with is Gauntlet 2p, rev 6 (gauntlet2p) on Mame 0.136 with vmame64.exe.
The game runs FINE when launched using the same command line that MA should be passing from a command line/box/whatever. From MA, just sits at a black screen.
So...few things - is there a way to get feedback on what's going on 'behind the scenes' with MA so I can see what's causing the issue? As it is now, I have nothing to even work from.
There's a number of other games that do this as well...just go to a black screen. I was figuring it was bad dumps/unworking games but it's just too frequent to be sheer coincidence. I think something's screwed up for certain games and I'd like to figure out why...that and I want the damn gauntlet 2p working on my cab.
Looks like someone is having similar issues (or did) here: http://maximusarcade.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2193 (http://maximusarcade.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2193)
Any ideas anyone? ANything? This seriously sucks.
Edit:
So...seems the default of 'short' paths doesn't work for all MAME roms - make sure to set that to long or you'll have issues as I did.
One step closer to 'final'. :)

Do any of the "VS." games work for you? I tried your idea and it didnt make a diff for me. Im running 0143 all roms updated 32bit version.

Hrm. I don't really like them (don't see the point) but I'll try tonight and see if they do. I'm running 0.136 now and getting it setup with that - not sure if I'll swtich yet as I don't see the benefit.
