Having some issues running mame v.108 from Mamewah -- it will start to launch a game, the dosbox will flash, and then it will go back to the game selection screen.
Here's my mamewah log:

anyone have any thoughts? I know I've had this happen before and it was an easy fix, but I'm just missing it for some reason.
Thanks much!

Oh, and for what it's worth, the romset I'm using is for .105, and I'm just recently upgrading MAME to .108. That's not the problem, is it?
-
Switch {nosafelaunch} to {safelaunch}
-
thanks, but that didn't fix it. Anyone have any other thoughts? I'm at my wit's end...
-
That could easily be caused by a bad game rom...MAME won't load it...goes back to MAMEWAH. Try it with a different game/games...
If SOME of them load, then you know it's your rom set...

I've tried dozens of roms, still no luck. The weird thing is that all my other platforms launch from Mamewah just fine. I've now tried upgrading mamewah to 1.62b12, and still no luck. I'm utterly puzzled.
