What are advision.xml Error Messages?

General advision.xml Runtime Errors

advision.xml file errors often occur during the startup phase of MAME, but can also occur while the program is running. These types XML errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while MAME is running. Here are some of the most common advision.xml runtime errors:

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Most XML errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your advision.xml file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with MAME), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, advision.xml file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading MAME, system crash while loading or saving advision.xml, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Download advision.xml Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying advision.xml to your appropriate Windows system directory. Open Source typically does not release MAME XML files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing advision.xml and all other XML files for MAME. An incorrectly installed XML file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
