Here is something I was going to let go, but now I find I want to know why !! Lol

When I started using mGalaxy I had all my Roms working but with just the ROM filename, not the actual game name. So I used the Mame database files list in mGalaxy and ran them and then all my titles were changed to actual game names!!
Great!!

However then I noticed a few games missing, for instance After Burner which the ROM name is aburner.zip . So it doesn't show up when you select the Mame emulator in mGalaxy. Yet if I just run the Mameuifx.exe by itself, aburner still shows in the list and I can run it that way.

Any idea why I lost it through mGalaxy ??

You surely are using a Mame database which version differs from your Mame version!
Question:
1. did you download the database (which version) or make it by yourself (using which version of MAME)?
2. what actual MAME version are you using ?

Ya okay I was using0.145 from the site and my Mame is 0.156. So I went and found a more recent database. It didn't really say what version it was but a hell of a lot more games appeared so I'm happy :-) .

Thanks,
