Colecovision Emulator
Chris:
My understanding is that MAMEWAH cannot put the options before the ROM name, only afterward. Perhaps the answer is a batch file? Make the "emulator" COLECO.BAT and have it contain:
Mess.exe coleco -skip_disclaimer -skip_gameinfo -cart %1
exit
This is just off the top of my head, I haven't tested it or anything...

This is exacly how I have MESS running on Mamewah and it launches the games perfectly BUT..................
for the life of me I cannot get the tab menu to come up (within Colecovision). Have you been able to make that work (to configure your input keys)?

I have MAMEWAH and MESS running in Win98, here's my Colecovision files. You'll need to edit all the paths. MESSWAH
EMU7.CFG - MAMEWAH FILES folder
MESS.ini - MESS ini folder
MESSui.ini - MESS folder
coleco.bat - MESS folder
coleco (shortcut) - MESS folder

If you guys want to try something new and don't want to fool with odd-ball bat files and other hacks, dk recently got the additon of a totally custom command line string. I only mention it because this feature was added specifically to give better support for mess. That copuled with my "Mess-ed" datfile and mame info generator, makes for the most painless setup of a "mess emulator" possible.
