maybe the game you reffering is missing or incomplete etc....

you can add manually to try to see or use the same version of MAME and verify your ROM is good.

Adding manually.... Edit the Gamelist.RC (forgot the exact filename) and see how advmenu do it and just make one with the GAMEROm you wanna test.

use batch file

if using pure DOS insert it in your Autoxec.bat file before ADVMENU


ex:
@echo off
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, (ALL STUFF)
REM Below to execute the Avi Program for the Intro.Avi you like
AVI_PLAYER_FOR_DOS INTRO.AVI
Advmenu
