How to make avi files run in mamewah?

[gonzo90017]

I just downloaded the mame videos. How can I set up mamewah to show them instead of the screenshots?

It depends a little on the version of MameWAH your using but the principle is this. Modify your mame.ini file (the one in mamewah) to look something like this.

### Artwork Locations ###
artwork_image_paths                       C:\mame\snap
movie_preview_path                        c:\mame\videos
movie_artwork_no                          1

You just need to supply the path to the videos and which image window you want them to appear in.

You need to set the path to your videos in the movie_preview_path. That should do it.
