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.
