Did a quick test of the artwork with newer layouts and 4 machines caused in exception parsing the XML in the layouts:
>> ccmk2, ebases, ncombat, ssystem3
I'll leave fixing them to the pros as there is likely more needed to get them working correctly than adding or deleting a missing closing tag.

Almost forgot about these... thank you for running these tests... all fixed now:
-- ncombat... this was broken earlier; was already fixed
-- ebases... I had comments in the bottom of the lay file with a double dash (--) instead of a single dash (-) in front of each line, and MAME didn't like that [still weird, because it still was all within the section of the comment].
-- ccmk2... had an element with no closing tag which was used for the "clickable" part of the artwork; used to work before, but MAME doesn't like that now (which is correct behaviour, so... good); looks like the driver had also been updated since last adding the artwork, so that all had to be fixed also... after checking... also fixed ccmk1.
-- ssystem3... same as ccmk2, plus as Robbbert said, the dimensions for the screen were way off... all good now
All corrected for the next release... which will be done as soon as I finish writing up everything (before the end of the weekend).

RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.
