I don't know what to tell you, it works fine here. I'm guessing you are either missing something in the instructions or there must be something wrong in your setup.

I'd suggest doing a new install of MAME in a new directory and follow the instructions step by step.

Yeah, that sometimes happens. Need to Delete all Program Configs and Run as Admin. Each time you change something or Add Directories, Exit, then reopen. Find it works better.
Having a big Problem with MAME4Droid (0.139). I have the 139 Cheat File Zip and that works perfectly............but when I try to Replace/Update the Cheats but putting in the more Current XML Files, then the Cheat Option does not want to come up. Is there a change in XML Format from 139 to 172? Game Example: MK2Chal . Found more Codes. But like I said, I make sure it is still a Zip, I only put in the XML Files, same Dir, everything.
