New to Mamewah !
Wotto:
Hi,
I have used Mame and an old front end called Arcade at Home for years and that has been fine, however I wish to use Mame wah now and I have downloaded the latest version and cannot get it to run the games.
I only use about 100 OLD basic games like Pacman , Space Invaders etc in a cocktail cabinet and I use Win 98 with mame.exe.
I have installed Mamewah and can 'launch it"- I can then get the menu to point the "Execution Settings" to where my mame.exe is ( which is 'c:\mame\mame.exe', I then go to Rom Paths and point it to my Roms Folder ( which is 'c:\mame\roms') ,I then go to Game List Options and scroll down and hit 'refresh game list', Mamewah then looks as though tit is searching for my games
( as it tells me to wait) and then after about 15 seconds tells me that " No games available".
How do I do it, the read me file is VERY basic and I am a bit stuck, any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Wotto
;D :D ;D

You've got me ::)
Sounds like you did everything right...Go into Emulator Settings > List Generation Settings and make sure it is on 'ROM Folder vs Listinfo (M.A.M.E.)'. Then refresh the list (if you had to change it).
If that fails try the above setting on 'Verifysets vs Listinfo (M.A.M.E.)' & refresh the list again.
(hoping that works....)
Wotto:
Yeah- I did that too !! - I am stumped.
This FE looks AwESOME and i want to get it going.
Looks like I am out of luck?

Minwah:
Hmmm...
Try the List Generation Method to 'ROM Folder Only' (refresh again).
I don't know what's wrong but it might help narrow it down. Email me your emu?.cfg file if you like and I'll have a look...
Wotto:
Thanks Minwah-
I will give it a go and see what I get.
Does it matter what Mame exe version I am using??
