MameWah Set-up not allowing me to create a list using rom folder and listinfo.
bfossett:
Hi all i am desperately in need of help, i am using Mamewah setup program, and the only way i can create a game list is by using stictly the roms folder, which gives the games odd titles, and not their full titles. Anyone know how to fix this?
Dave Butler:
Allthough MAMEWAh Setup can create a game list for mame I have only tested it with Command line MAME with the default set up so make sure you have Windows Command Line version of MAME, and put all your ROMS in the rom folder in your MAME dir.
Run MAMEWAh Setup and set the list generation method to 'ROM Folder Vs List Info'.
Now in order to make the list, MAME must be named 'MAME.EXE'.
Set the 'Emulator Executable' to MAME.EXE and the game list should get created automatically with the corect names etc.
You may get asked if you want to add none working games to the list. I can not remember what this does because I started it and then got side tracked doing something else and forgot about it :-\

The problem is that when i click rom folder vs list info, the box to create a list fades out, and i cant click it :(
Dave Butler:
Don't put any other info into the program e.g Rom Folder.
If you start from a clean emulator config that you have never used, ROM folder Vs List info should allready be selected so just set the Emulator Executable to MAME.EXE.
The Rom folder and artwork folders should be set up for you if you have your roms in the roms folder in the mame dir. ;D

What if you are using advanceMame with Mamewah? I have this same problem. If I choose Roms only, I can make the list, if I choose Rom vs List or something, I cant. If I try to refresh the list in mamewah, I get an error saying that -listinfo is not a known command. (Its an advanceMame error)
If I find out whats going on, I will let you know :)
