LaunchBox, Retroarch Mame 2016 or standalone Mame issues

I have a bit of a puzzle on my hands with running either Retroarch Mame 2016 or the standalone .176 & up within launchbox, but first some vitals:

Processor    AMD Ryzen 7 1700 Eight-Core Processor, 3200 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 16 Logical Processor(s)
Version    Windows 10.0.19042 Build 19042
Adapter Description    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080
Roms mounted via network share on drives Y & Z

Test Rom: 1942.zip (2016 set)

I've been able to run roms with retroarch's mame 2016 core, or with the standalone .225 edition outside of launchbox.  But if I try the hat trick of running the network mounted roms through launchbox then Mame (or retroarch) will try to start up and then quit out.  Is it the network pathing?  That doesn't seem to be a problem elsewhere.

In >Tools Manage Emulators when you edit Retroarch do you have the correct core selected in the Associated Platforms tab and does the Platform name in the Associated Platforms tab match exactly as the platform name appears in LB?

Early on, I must have tested a bad rom.  1942, my sample test, works if I switch to the .225 standalone and launched through retroarch.  I only converged on 1942.zip because I wanted to post and make sure I was comparing apples to apples.  That said, whatever is built into retroarch and the .176 (exact) edition standalone do not work.  So whomever made the rom set, while I bless them, was probably not spot on with the compatibility.
