Can you run the games from the command line (no mamewah)???

No, the indicated error is from the command line. Of course, with this not set up right, MAMEWAH won't work either. That just does nothing when I select a game....just stays in the menu.

I know you say the location is "Z:", but I just want to make sure it is not something more like "Z:\my mame roms" (i.e. something with spaces in the path name).

I've tried it both ways. I've had the drive letter mapped to the root, like "Z:\", and I've also tried it like "Z:\roms". Whatever way I share it, same error. Do you agree that it's likely a problem with how .zip files are handled across a share....perhaps where the archive is temporarily unzipped? Because it definitely finds the .zip file, but just isn't able to get to the files inside.

Sounds like a familiar problem. I think it could be due to having split roms. If you had merged roms (not recommended) then I reckon it would work?

*shrug*  I was just mostly guessing based on issues I've had with windows before, but not this one.  Good luck!
