Hello all.
I've searched the existing posts, but I'm either searching wrong or not finding what I need (or both), so here's what's happening. I have AM installed, and its detected MAME (the only emulator I have installed right now), but when I attempt to launch a game, I see "initializing" (looks like the MAME ui) for a few seconds, then I'm dumped back into AM. Games launch as they should through MAME directly, or through the command line, but not through AM.
Some of the posts I found mentioned mame.ini. The only mame.ini file I see is the one generated via MAME itself. There's a mame.cfg generated by AM, but am I missing something? The rompath is the one AM generated automatically (mame.cfg):
# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.5.1
#
executable D:\Users\Blake\mame\mame64.exe
args [name] -skip_gameinfo
workdir D:\Users\Blake\attract\.
rompath D:\Users\Blake\mame\roms/
romext .zip;.7z
system Arcade
info_source listxml
artwork marquee $HOME/mame/marquee
artwork snap $HOME/mame/video;$HOME/mame/snap
(The -skip_gameinfo flag is to bypass MAME warnings. I've tried without it, too.)
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Change your mame.cfg file workdir to be in the mame install directory (or remove this entry).
workdir D:\Users\Blake\mame
Change your mame.ini file rompath to include the location of your mame roms.
rompath roms;D:\Users\Blake\mame\roms

Progets, thank you so much! Those changes fixed things!
(It's been a few versions since I've played around with AM. Looks like there have been some substantive changes!)
