MAMEWAH v0.97 Released!
Minwah:
There should be something for everyone in this release ;) As promised nothing too major (mouse/joystick/movie/mixed emulators support not yet done) but most of the other requests are in there:
MAMEWAH v0.97 (15/05/04)
Bugs Fixed:
First item in Games List/Options List may have been placed 'under' artwork image(s) if list overlapped image (fixed),
Aspect ratio 'fix' in vertical modes (eg 240x320) stretches image(s) incorrectly (fixed),
'Add Game to Custom List' option would appear even if no games were in the current list (fixed),
If artwork image was missing (Artwork #2-10) then 'no snap' image would not be used in Slide-Show screen-saver (fixed),
Music files placed in subfolders of subfolders etc. would not be used (fixed).

Now all thats left it rotation ;)
Maybe a little off topic but:
I'm wondering if you could pm/email me about how you retrieve the MAME rom info (horiz/vert, control type, etc...)
Also, how you manage your layout creator. I can't seem to make it well (mine sucks, truthfully).
Thanks!

WOW!
Those are a lot of changes! Can't wait to test it on my Cab.
I do have a feature request.. A lot of people use MAMEWAH and try their best to hide the fact that it's a PC. Is there any way to have a config file that MAMEWAH reads which instructs it which menu options should be visible and which shouldn't?
E.g.:
- Ability to hide configurations (once it's configured)
- Ability to hide "Exit to windows" but still have a special key combo to exit to windows for maint. mode
etc.
