MAMEWAH: AutoLaunch game on bootup?
« on: November 28, 2004, 05:39:01 am »
I am running MAMEWAH as shell in Win98 and would like so it automaticly starts up a game before (or after) entering the FrontEnd.

Have tried creating a .bat file and placed it in /Startup folder:
C:/
cd..
cd..
cd..
cd MAMEWAH2
mame89.exe outrun

also tried to add an entry in Regedit.
*/CurrentVersion/Run "C:\MAMEWAH2\mame89.exe outrun"

it doesnt seem to work, maybe it cant load enough of windows app because MAMEWAH is running as shell?

any way around this  :P

In the batch file try:


c:
cd\mame
start /wait mame89.exe outrun
cd\mamewah
mamewah.exe
exit


Not sure if it will work with MW as shell tho...probably not :(
