LaunchBox starting MAME gives me problems

[gStAv]

Ok, I installed LaunchBox on my C-drive and also have my MAME-install in the folder

c:/launchbox/emulators/MAME/

Running mame.exe directly works just fine and, I can save and load states, but running from LaunchBox, the saved states can't be "seen" in MAME and I also get an error when I try to save a state. Why is that and how can I get around this?

Saw some script commands in the preferences of the MAME emulator part in LaunchBox like F7/shift+F7 and F3, why is this needed as it should be stated in the ini's of mame. Or does LaunchBox have its own config file or something? 

Starting a game by pointing LB to run a an ahk-file works just fine.

Please help 😭

Removed the "high score / leaderboard" options in the MAME section in settings fixed this 😀
