The game starts to load and then goes back to the mane MAME screen.

Here is .xml for those games
</game>
<game name="wboy">

<cloneof></cloneof>
<crc></crc>
<manufacturer>Sega (Escape license)</manufacturer>

<game name="1942">

<crc></crc>
<manufacturer>Capcom</manufacturer>
<year>1984</year>

<game name="720">

I don`t have the space in the .xml file located in the MAME database.

some games get the space and work some don`t. some games don`t have the space in the log file.

Your xml file is messed up, usually happens when you try to hand edit stuff.

Yours is this:

</game>
<game name="wboy">
<description>Wonder Boy (set 1, 315-5177)</description>
<cloneof></cloneof>
<crc></crc>
<manufacturer>Sega (Escape license)</manufacturer>
<year>1986</year>
</game>
<game name="1942">
<description>1942 (Revision B)</description>
<cloneof></cloneof>
<crc></crc>
<manufacturer>Capcom</manufacturer>
<year>1984</year>
<genre></genre>
<genre></genre> <-------------------------------------------2 genre fields?
<-------------------------------------------missing </game> closing tag here

<game name="720">
<description>720 Degrees (rev 4)</description>
<cloneof></cloneof>
<crc></crc>
<manufacturer>Atari Games</manufacturer>
<year>1986</year>
<genre></genre>
<-------------------------------------------missing </game> closing tag here

It should look like this:

<game name="wboy">
<description>Wonder Boy (set 1, 315-5177)</description>
<cloneof></cloneof>
<crc></crc>
<manufacturer>Sega (Escape license)</manufacturer>
<year>1986</year>
</game>
<game name="1942">
<description>1942 (Revision B)</description>
<cloneof></cloneof>
<crc></crc>
<manufacturer>Capcom</manufacturer>
<year>1984</year>
<genre></genre>
</game>
<game name="720">
<description>720 Degrees (rev 4)</description>
<cloneof></cloneof>
<crc></crc>
<manufacturer>Atari Games</manufacturer>
<year>1986</year>
<genre></genre>
</game>

I just took bits and pieces from the log to show the space before the game name.

<cloneof></cloneof>
<crc></crc>
<manufacturer>Capcom</manufacturer>
<year>1990</year>
<genre></genre>
</game>
<game name="pc_1942">
<description>1942 (PlayChoice-10)</description>
<cloneof></cloneof>
<crc></crc>
<manufacturer>Capcom</manufacturer>
<year>1987</year>
<genre></genre>
</game>
<game name="1942">
<description>1942 (Revision B)</description>
<cloneof></cloneof>
<crc></crc>
<manufacturer>Capcom</manufacturer>
<year>1984</year>

here is the actual section you pointed out to me.
