Tested with MAMEWAH 1.61:

 Set Path from MAMEWAH do NOT work as it should, EVEN i removed the cd path etc. in the bat file. Look in the screenshot, what I got. Mamewah 1.61 is the officeil version you have on your homepage. It may have fixed in that version you have.

I made a soon a debugger version, so I can test, what it really happens (wich path MAMEWAH have sent).

Even using a BAT file, placed in somae folder in the AMB.exe path, it wont work, and returned back to frontend again. You are really need to set path with cd your self. That works.

You are need to create this bat file before it works (also here):

c:
cd "C:\Program Files\Arcade Music Box 2\bin"
amb.exe

Space Fractal,

So basically I'm setting up AMB like I had to set up Daphne. I fully understand what your saying. I've also seen that error in your snapshot. I am using the fullscreen version.

So, make a .bat file in AMB and point it to the .exe, and then go to MAMEWAH and point it to the .bat.

I'll try this when I get home.

Thanks!
Space Fractal:
ok. thanks for verifying (this is why a screenshots is very good). You may have the same version I have.

that error you saw came from AMB (So mamewah actuelly launched it) and NOT Mamewah.

There are a bug in MAMEWAH, that diddent set the correct path (in Mamewah v1.61), and there are a another bug in AMB, that diddent check the current path. I (trying to) fix the last bug in the next version (to prevent this to happen).

A BAT file works fine here, if you use "Launch Application" method. If you use AMB as a emulator, you need to use a LNK shortcuts instead. You can even setup a speciel button to start the jukebox, regardsless where you are in MAMEWAH (and label that button).

I forgot to mention in my last thread that I did try both ways of setting this up. I did exactly what MinWah said and typed the exact path the way he had it, and that's when I would get the error. When I changed the path to end with the .LNK there was no more error, but nothing would happen.

I'm trying the .bat file now and I'll let you guys know how it works out.
RomanStewart:
IT WORKS!!!!!!

The .bat was what it needed.

This is awesome, I'm extremely grateful for the time you guys put in to help me out with this.

You guys are the best.

Thanks!
