Mame.bat stopped working

I have been running a mame.bat for quite awhile that directs about 8 games to two different versions of mame to get them to run properly. All was well. I run Mala and the mame.bat was manually entered into the Mame Executable path since it only looks for .exe. Like I said it was running well and if one of the games was selected it would change directories and execute with the proper mame.exe and load up the game. Now, the only games that will not load are those games. So the .bat does not seem to be doing it's job. No changes to the file, directories or mame upgrades. The only thing that has been upgraded is Win7 files through normal updates. Pulling my hair out.

so, you want us to guess the contents of your .bat file, then tell you why it's not working?

Sorry, I had edited the original post right after posting it with that info, but it looks like it did not take. Anyways, here is partial of the bat file that shows two of the games that are loaded out of the mame136 folder:
if %1==hogalley goto hogalley if %1==duckhunt goto duckhunt
rem default MAME launch mame %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 goto end
:hogalley cd mame136 mame hogalley cd.. goto end
:duckhunt cd mame136 mame duckhunt cd.. goto end
Again, this had worked...but I just don't get a sense it is going to the proper directory. What I mean is these two commands assume that I am already in my root mame folder and the mame136 folder is just one level down (which it is) from where it is starting from. I wonder if somehow I am no longer in that root folder when it starts these commands.
