Stuck on black screen on Hyperspin after selecting MAME

[NanasPanas]

Hi folks. I would appreciate help with this new problem. I  upgraded to Hyperspin 1.51 a few weeks ago without any issues. This morning, I ran into a new problem. Hyperspin main menu loads normally, but when I select the MAME wheel, a black screen appears and nothing else happens. It doesn't respond to Escape, so I have to use Task Manager to end Hyperspin. Other (non MAME) wheels load normally. The only thing I can think of is that I performed a Windows Update yesterday. 

The Hyperspin log.txt reads:

I would check your Mame database if this only effects Mame. It could also be a bad piece of wheel art or theme maybe even the Mame settings file found in the settings folder.

Anyone else have any ideas?

I replaced MAME.ini in the Hyperspin/Settings/ folder with the default one, and the problem was resolved. I'll have to hunt down what was the specific line that triggered it. 

Thank you @gigapig !
