As you previously ran out of RAM it left some files in a mess.
Do the following:
- Delete all files beginning with underscore see below screenshot
- Ensure you have RAM free, the first run peaks at 1.4GB, maybe reboot and don't start any other software
- Run mame-ao again - you can keep an eye on task manager to see the RAM usage.
NOTE: After first run mame-ao will sit on about 400MB.
Cheers Sam
