Firstly the artwork....  It must be unzipped.  The folder names must be "snap","cabinets","marquees", and "flyers"  You point to the path as you did though.. just "c:\mame\" and it will automatically search for those folder names above inside it.  

The next and previous page buttons (z and x by default) move between lists.  The 3 key is the experimental random select key.  

Your list responsiveness problems can be one of two things....

#1 You have some artwork that is HUGE (not likely since your haing artwork probs)  

#2 You need to tweak your scroll rates in your lazarus.ini Lower numbers isn't always better in this case... you need to find a good balance.  Remember that up and down move one at a time rather slowly for accuracy and left and right move a page at a time, very quickly for long lists.  

The problem with a log is the only way to do it is to trap errors.  If I go to that much trouble then I might as well write intelligent error messages.  The wrappers do have very basic logs though.... If you look in a dir that contains one you'll find a log.txt showing the last command it passed.
