Mamewah + Winamp = :(
« on: March 05, 2004, 10:01:11 am »
Argh
Im trying to set up mamewah as an album jukebox. Ive got each album in its own directory(d:\mp3s\artist\album), a playlsit directory(d:\mp3\playlist) with 1 .m3u file for each album, and an artwork dir(d:\mp3\covers) with a cover .jpg for each, named the same as the playlist

I set it up the same as any of the generic emulators. Ive got gens, zsnes and some others setup identically except its roms instead of playlists. The emulators work fine- pick a game, itlaunches, you play, and then you exit back to mamewah.

With winamp, it's doing a couple different things, all goofy. Most of the time it flashes the "Loading - album name" box for a second, and then gives control back to mamewah without starting winamp. Depending on the settings(send rom path, send extension, long file names) sometimes it will start winamp with the correct playlist, but its all in the background- no winamp box pops up(actually it should start right to the milkdrop visualiztion)- so theres no way to control playback, or even exit, short of crtl-alt-del, or manually launching winamp to bring up the window

My system in XP with winamp5, the latest build. I havent tried an older v2 winamp yet, but Im not opposed if thats the fix

Ive seen a thread or 2 about using winamp to play mp3s in the background behind mamewah & mame. Can anybody help with this? Im gonna Xpost it to the software forum,  Idont know if minwah reads in here so he might catch it in there... Thanks in advance for any suggestions orhelp
