It didn't work with Powermame.  I did get it to work with regular mame. :cheers:

I wonder what in the world powermame is doing then?  Is it a mame32 variant?  Cause mame32 doesn't allow you to generate many lists and thus it doesn't really work.  This is why I don't reccomend it for fe's either (not powermame, just mame32 in general)  simple fes that don't poll a lot of data from mame can handle it but more complicated ones don't. 

Btw, .106 also works so I'm not sure what the deal is there.  Whenever a new major version of mame comes out the frst thing I do is install it and make sure it works with j5, because of the mamedevs playing musical chairs with the list switches, I sorta have to.  I even tried it with .106u8 and it works, which is nothing short of a miracle in my eyes.  ;)

I did try it with command line powermame and no dice.  The only other possibility I can think of is that in Johnny5 for it to work, the mame.exe has to be named mame.exe.  I tried using pmame.exe in the J5 setup, but, again, I still think it was a problem with powermame.  Could it be that the way powermame is reassembled has something to do with it?  I know that the way MikeQ compiled it caused the NeoGeo games to have a calender error.  Someone else recompiled it a different way and now they work.  The only problem is that the recompiled way is with Pmame32.  No big loss, except with J5.
