Hi All, I have search high and low and can't diagnose this issue. It seems to be with how Nevato launches - other themes work fine.
Problem: Attract Mode works great, using the Nevato theme. When launching a game in AM (enter), the screen flashes, but the game doesn't launch. When I directly launch using MAME, it plays fine. All the rompaths are correct as far as I can see (AM config, mame.ini), and the roms are present, and versions match the version of MAME. I am trying this on a new computer, the only thing I can think of that changed is the processor, I upgraded to a 64-bit processor but I'm still using 32-bit Windows XP updated to SP3. When I try in console mode, it only says "***Running..." no errors given.
I'm sure it's something simple, hoping someone can help!
Below is my config file for AM and my Mame.ini:
