Neo-Geo problems

Hi all.

I've recently been encountering a problem with Neo-Geo games, more
specifically SNK fighters. They will play ok for a while then
suddenly quit on me. It happens in all 3 garou rom sets and also in
several King of Fighters. I'm using MAME32 0.94u1 (also tried
MAME32Plus 0.94u1 pentium build, same deal) on XP, 512 RAM, 3.2 P4,
Soundblaster Live, Geforce 3 and X-Arcade.

I don't recall if this happens with anything other than Neo-Geo games,
and from the few tests I did not all Neo-Geo games were affected, just
the few SNK fighters I tried. It's bloody annoying and I haven't been
able to find any mention of this problem on mametesters or the
mame32qa sites and their respective forums. Oh yeah, this has been
happening since at least 0.93 too.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you run CLRMAME on your set? Make sure you have all the proper
ROMs. Worth a shot if you havent.

No, it's not that either, because it happens between stages, during
cut scenes as well as in game. I have custom configs anyhow. Thanks
for the idea though =)

Yeah, usually do it with each release to see what needs downloading
and fixing, so it's not that. Thanks for the help anyway.
