advmame don't have a  -verify   parameter. Maybe thats causing your problem, just a guess.

AdvanceMAME doesn't have the -verifyrom flag, so the {autodosbox} flag won't work.

  In your <emu>.ini (in C:\mamewah\ini), change your commandline_format flag {autodosbox} to {nodosbox} and try again.

advmame works fine if you do it manually. But if you launch a game from MAMEWAH, thats when it freezes. Anyone here must have use this 2 together that can guide you more that I do at this point. I'm just a pure Advance Menu and Advmame user.

since i couldnt figure this out i went to advmenu and was wondering if there is a background image i could have besides the white...also is there an option to shutdown windows within advmenu...or is it manually that must be done....as i liked that mamewah was able to shutdown comp from the front end...thanx for the answers
