Strangely the MAME 0.250 core on two of my PC setups, WIndows, stopped working on Retroarch 1.14. I can’t understand why it crashes on startup when it worked perfectly until yesterday, and this happens on both of my PCs. Is it possible that the core has an expiration?
no expiration, no. We would need to see a log to even guess what’s going on with it, though.

Are you using launchbox?

Yup ! But even trying to start the games with a new retroarch setup and loading the games from retroarch I was getting the crash. I solved ! I deleted the MAME folder from System , and everything started working again. I wonder how this problem could be generated thankfully solved simply.
Yes, it appears to be something that Launchbox is setting up, though I don’t know why. Once the boot script file is there in the system directory, it will break things whether launched from Launchbox or directly.
It might be worth bringing up at their forums.
