mamewah broadcast selected game to all windows

<< < (4/5) > >>

eightbit:
Just to clarify things when I asked the question I was wondering if this broadcast was something that mamewah could already do or if there was another easy way to get mamewah to tell me what game was playing. In theory I should be able to do it in a batch file or read the log but I lack the knowledge to do either.

I still don't have a way to do this no matter how many people tell me how simple it is to do. I'm not bugging minwah to add it because if he wants it he'll get around to doing it. Mamewah is my favorite front end and I'm happy that Minwah has choosen to share it with us.

So if someone else has figured a reasonably easy reliable way to do this with mamewah I'd appreciate very much if they would share that information with me.

I can not get DK to work with my old crappy video card. Not your fault.  You shouldn't have to support the lowest common denominator. I will upgrade and use it, but till then, I have mamewah.

I use an activeX control for what I am doing.  Its all I need.

While I think that your text file with game data is great. Are you suggesting that he would be able to remotely open a file and read it into his app fast enough for it to change data on the laptop screen while games are selected?

My prog works regardless of caption. Mamewah doesn't use a caption at all.  While you did things with your wrappers way beyond what he wants to do, Mame's caption has been consistent from all that I've used. When you are creating a playlist or text list of game data, I can see where a few different captions scattered in there are important, but he is just displaying a picture on a laptop based off the games name.

Windows sockets are great also and very efficient but we are talking about Minwah adding one short line of code to his app. Not coding api calls.

I would also like it implemented in Mamewah, which is why I brought it up again.
(With the activeX object and this change. It would be really easy to do what you want)

I agree with you in everyway about Mamwah and Minwah. I just brought it up again because I found out how to do it easily.

Valence is this something you could share? I would love to have this functionality.

I'm not sure what you mean?
Do you mean this

I use it with a timer that calls the function after a predetermined time.

But as I said, It won't work for what you need it to do.

Did you see my original suggestion of reading the debug.log file? it shows you which file is launched, but doesn't do anything while in the frontend
