After Upgrading to 3.20 have multiple issues including -I am unable to run any of my MAME roms.

[Cyphermage]

After Upgrading to 3.20 I am unable to run any of my MAME roms. When I go to launch any of them I get a quick MAME screen flash that says "INITIALIZING" then it goes away and takes me back to the menu.  Rom set 0.197.

I have reinstalled (Over the top of the existing application as I do not want to lose any of my config files.)

 

I did a little research and it looks like other emulators seem to still let me run a few games but then Lauchbox locks up.  Big Screen locks up after about 30 mins of attract mode. 

 

Ran diagnostics on the system and everything seems ok.  All Steam and unreal games are still playable.

I trust you mean LaunchBox version 13.20.  MAME release 0.197 is a pretty old release but was quite stable in its own rights.

Is your MAME executable release 0.197 as well (to match your ROM set)?  (have to ask)

If you would, edit you MAME emulator (in LaunchBox) and share with us a screenshot of the main Details section.

Is your LaunchBox setup and ROMs/Games all contained on local hard drives (vs some or all of it may be on a LAN connection)?

I presume you're talking about BigBox.  If so, this is a known issue which you can read about it here.  The unofficial consensus is that if you switch your video player (in BigBox) from VLC to WMP tends to resolve it.

System Menu < Options < Videos < Video Playback Engine

If after switching you find it's still locking up, please add your comments with pertinent information (see 1st comment for details) about your setup, in the above link.
