It sounds like the focus issue is probably what I'm seeing. I actually use a TweakUI setting to give focus to whatever the mouse is sitting on top of (this is like most UNIX GUIs which I actually use more frequently than Windows @ work). I'll try messing with that too, maybe it somehow is keeping MW from getting keyboard focus at startup. |

Did anyone ever figure out the problem here? My friend actually has the same exact problem. He's using MAMEWAH 1.61. I tried clicking on MAMEWAH, I tried using the task manager to switch focus. I tried resetting my mamewah.ini and re-downloaded mamewah 1.61. MAMEWAH definitely had focus, but just wasn't responding to any of my keyboards or ipac (I tried a ps/2 and usb keyboard). I did some testing but couldn't get it narrowed down exactly. He had MAMEWAH set to boot as the Windows Shell. That didn't work. I set windows to boot up and put MAMEWAH in the Startup menu. Same problem. I set windows to boot up and then manually launched MAMEWAH. Still didn't work. It seemed that the first time I ran MAMEWAH, on my friend's machine, the keyboard was always locked. If I force kill MAMEWAH and then run it again it seemed to respond to keyboard/ipac input. So... I wrote a batch file that looked (somewhat like this): --- Code: ---WAIT 10 seconds start c:\mamewah\mamewah.exe WAIT 10 seconds taskkill \IM mamewah.exe mamewah.exe --- End code --- Even this didn't seem to work. The script itself runs flawlessly, but MAMEWAH still didn't receive key inputs. :( At this point I wasn't sure what to do - so I switched to Mala. ;) I swear that's not a threat. ;) I still use MAMEWAH at home. Anyone figure this out? The only odd thing in the mamewah.log is a line that says decimal figure found "." - or something like that. Joseph Elwell. |
