When I highlight kof98k or kof98n on the game list the emulator closes. Any idea what's causing it? I'm using version 0.106. Thanks.

It's a known bug, due to the length of the gamename, exceeding the length of the accepted string in the source code. The only thing you can do is to edit a file in the source (I don't remember which file you have to edit) and increase the value about the allowed length of the string in a filename. Then, you have to re-compile the source with the appropriate tools (v. 0.106).
Otherwise, use a more recent release, hoping that the roms will work fine again....

OK, thanks for the info. I have the source code so I'll look at it later. Hopefully I can find the correct file to modify.

The file to edit is surely DATAFILE.C. I don't recall now the path in the source tree but it's stored into the GUI section. Then you have to modify something similar to this line IIRC (too many years have passed):
