Yeah, WolfMAME .164 is working fine for me too and I'm not seeing anything different than normal. Loving playing the new games added in .164 too, thanks Barry!

*sigh* You have no patience and your blame is very much misplaced. A mirror may be a useful tool the next time you wish to blame someone for the record.bat.

What you are used to has been a bespoke solution tailored for you in a specific thread from this forum. It was designed to work with the version of MAME at that time. Time moves on and the MAME dev team have made changes so that what used to work for you no longer works.

That version of record.bat specifically runs mame.exe. The new version of WolfMAME (0.164) does not contain a mame.exe - it does contain a mamearcade.exe because that is a change made by MAME dev team (not Barry). Edit the record.bat and change the mame.exe to mamearcade.exe or rename the mamearcade.exe of WolfMAME 0.164 to mame.exe but remember you will need to do that rename with each new version (correct at the time of this writing).

The versions of record.bat and playback.bat included should work - I do test them after compiling.

If you are indeed using the incorrect filename for the executable (as I said before, I discounted this idea as you said 0.163 was fine), then you must be using your own batch files.
In this case, you will need to edit the batch file to run mamearcade.exe instead of mame.exe. You'll need a text editor to do this, Notepad will do the job fine.

As said many times previously, open a command prompt, switch to the directory of the batch file (which is presumably also where MAME is located), and run it from there. This will provide the info needed to help diagnose what the issue is. Otherwise, we're only guessing.

Right click the batch file and choose the edit option. It should then open in notepad and you can read through the text to see where it launches Mame.
