Seems like maybe MAME is suddenly spitting out something somewhere it shouldn't ("th" is, as it says, certainly not an integer value). Is this ultimately MAME's problem, or Emu Loader's? And is there a workaround, or do I have to just wait for a fix on the MAME end (and make a bug report to help it along)?
