I saw mamewah running on an old machine at my work and I now know what it should look like, and I never got it to run on either of the two machines that I have tried. I just got a blank white screen.

Yes a batch file is just a text file with .bat as the extension. If you're using Windows to make it make sure it doesn't do that stupid hide the extension thing - you could end up with mamewah.bat.txt...
Don't call it in autoexec.bat, unless I am mistaken I think that only works until Windows boots. Add the batch file to your Windows Startup folder instead.

That's pretty odd. I take it Analog MAME's -listinfo (& other 'standard' switches) work the same as regular MAME?

I don't know if they do or not. I had only used analog mame a couple times before. It worked in .79. Before mamewah I was (I hate to admit) a Mame32 guy.

I finally had time to work on my mame machine last night. I got Mamewah to work by deleting all of the files in the files directory. I did not try the batch file trick, because I finally got it to work.
