Buster Bros. (bbros.zip) imports correctly, then disappears next time

[Typhon]

I have the platform named 'MAME,' and the game will import, then it's gone the next time I close and restart Launchbox. The entry is clearly in the MAME.xml, so I don't understand why it is not appearing, but I do know that MAME seems to be handled in a very strange way compared to other systems.

@Jason Carr can you shed some light on this?

Here's the entry in the MAME.xml:

Super Buster Bros. has the same issue, so I thought it might be the . at the end, but Vs. Super Mario Bros. and a few other games have it, so that's not it.

For Buster Bros., I deleted the <CloneOf>pang</CloneOf> field, since it's the only entry in the XML with 'cloneof', but that didn't fix it either.

I think I might have figured it out. I had another XML named MAME 2.xml, I can't remember what it was originally, probably me trying to test how Launchbox works, but anyways, I deleted it, and now the files are importing and staying imported. I don't understand why that would fix it, but it seems to have worked.
