Sad I even thought that maybe the path I used would be too long to be properly opened, so I copied everything to C:\MAME, but that didn't help either. Cmd/escape in addon settings also did nothing... Does anybody else have their MAME working with RCB??Yes, a lot of people have it working. MAME is a quite common system. Did you try to remove the extra arguments that you are using (-effect aperture1x3rb -skip_gameinfo). Maybe this causes problems or there needs to be a special order of these arguments.
And, did you try other games? I also have some games here that don't work while others do.

EDIT 2: OMG, really?? I sorted it out: when specifying the path to the emulator, I had selected the actual 'mame.exe' file. That was it. That was the problem. Because RCB shows individual files when asking for the emu path, I thought I had to. Subsequently, on selecting the rom path, it only shows folders. So that's why I assumed RCB wanted me to point it to a specific file when asking for the emu, and only a folder when asking for the roms..!
I hereby nominate myself for the facepalm of the month. Thanks malte, for your patience. Maybe you can edit RCB to not show files when asking for the emu path? Just for noobs like myself, you know..? Anyway, I'm off to some classic arcade gaming now.
