I've had this working at one point, and when it stopped working, I would do a reinstall of MAME/MAMEWAH, and it would start working again. However, that strategy is not working any more. Now I get this error when I try to generate the games list from within MAMEWAH 1.61. (Win98SE)

Any ideas what this means? (The 1.62 beta working, but only on my PC monitor...still trying to figure out this powerstrip program) 1.61 Loads on my Arcade monitor but not my PC monitor (although the game list generation bombs.  I would use 1.62 if I could figure out what I did wrong with powerstrip.

Thans for any pointers!  :)

Cool. I tried that XMLInfo file, and that worked. However, a lot of my games wouldn't start up in MAME .107. I simply reverted to .106 and everything seems to be working again. Thanks!

Your roms probably need updating...
