Strange... MAME4iOS On My iPad Stopped Loading roms...

I've been playing MAME roms on my jailbroken iPad (4th Gen) for weeks with no issues whatsoever. MAME4iOS Reloaded from Cydia. I even had it working with iCade. Now, all of a sudden when I go to run a game by selecting it, I get a small message window with 3 choices listed: "Do You Want to Add Game to Favorites"... "Return to Previous Screen" and some other message, I do not recall right now. What's strange is, even those selections aren't working, I just get a quick flash to a black screen and then back to the game title selection screen. I'm going to try restarting my iPad tonight to see if that does anything. Wish me luck! In the meantime, any advice would be welcomed...!

Sorry but I would help if I could. Maybe some of the other team members would know more?

Thanks, Boss Man. So far I have tried:

• Rebooting my iPad
• Deleting and then reinstalling MAME4iOS Reloaded
• Going in to the Options menus and re-setting various things

... to no avail.

The other MAME app — the one that I use for certain other games that do not work in MAME4iOS — works fine.

I thought for sure if I deleted the app and then re-installed it that it would work again, but no. I don't get it.

I really like the old-school vibe of this site — it's my favorite emulation-related site ever — but I wish there was more traffic in the forums. I doubt I'll receive the advice I need.

Fixed the problem. I figured I'd try deleting all the folders and files associated with MAME4iOS using iFile and keep the roms to the side, then delete the app and download it again. I then went back in and put the roms back into the rom folder. Again, this was using iFile. It worked. If anyone comes here with the same issue I had, this will do the trick.
