EDIT: Nevermind the issue was that my hash files were missing due to an unexpected change in my folder paths.
I can’t figure out what recently broke my .cmd files setup, I used to run MAME’s Software Lists with commands like this:
macplus dejavu -rp "D:\RETRO\RetroArch\content\mame"
apple2p wastelnd -rp "D:\RETRO\RetroArch\content\mame"
fmtowns -ramsize 6M -flop1 "D:\RETRO\ROMS\Fujitsu - FM Towns\save_disks\beast2.hdm" -cdrom beast2 -rp "D:\RETRO\RetroArch\content\mame"
But now I can only run them by specifying the full path to each file, which is a headache and requires unzipping all multi-disk games to properly mount each one.
Here are some logs:
