Negatron doesn't start anymore

[hmueck]

Hello,

last time i run Negatron, i changed the ROM etc. folders to 212 and the .exe to mame64.exe (212).
Since then the splash screen shows, but the GUI doesn't open.
Later i changed the .ini back to negamame64.exe, but no change.

The Java error is:

Exception in Application start method

[BabelSoft]

Argh, this is because 4 MAME options have been removed in v0.212 and Negatron is still expecting them in mame.ini... I'll do something more robust for the next version of Negatron to avoid encountering this kind of situation in the future.

The next version is planned for Sunday 18 August. Bear with me in the meantime...
