Mamewah and WinXP's remote desktop?
« on: May 19, 2004, 03:43:12 pm »
Just wondering if anybody has been successful running mamewah from a remote desktop connection. I'm having no trouble with the layout designer, but Mamewah just refuses to open. Suggestions?

I use VNC to get "into" my cab and have noticed some probs with mamewah. Sometimes when I start a game it'll close my connection, sometimes not. SOmetimes it updates the screen, sometimes not..
Typically I try to just use it for things between games

I have tried before and it would not work either. I don't think that it's mamewah though that is doing it. I have had other programs that go to full screen mode that would not work either.

I think the problem (atleast with vnc) is that once you enter a game, the resolution switches and vnc disconnects.  If you changed you mame.ini file so that mame runs in the same resolution as mamewah then vnc should not disconnect.

I use a RADMIN and have actually been able to play a game remotely from various machines in the house (wirelessly). Granted who would want to play a game remotely, but it is semi playable. I've not seen any disconnects which is either a testimate to my home network or to that of RADMIN.

  This is usually what happens.. I notice that with Dragon King it does it more so because it forced the resolution change, even if the screen is set at the resolution already.

  UltraVNC seems to handle the resolution changes the best, and only drops my connection once in a while.
