once i install MameWah how do i install MAME, ZSNES and other emulators throught it? MameWah will hide widows so it will look like a "normal" arcade? can i navigate through the on screen game selection by using only the joystick and buttons(i will be rewiring a usb gamepad)?

Hi
MameWah is designed to run in a stand alone arcade cab, using the cab controls to navigate around the menus, select games, etc. The only time you need a keyboard is for initial configuration and on going admin. I have not actually used a hacke USB gamepad, but I can't see why it wont work... Anyone else tried?
It runs in full screen, therefore hiding the windows desktop. You can even get MAME Windows 98 Boot Loader screens, so the Windows logog is not even seen on boot!!! Email me if ya want info on this.
As far as configuration/ setup of the various emulators, it is best to use a tool such as MameWah config (see post by AtomSmasher above for link). If you go to http://www.screenshotarchive.com/downloads_emus.htm you can download emulators that are basically setup to be run in a cab (they exit by "esc" key, setup mame keys as default, etc.). Have a look around there and see what they have....

Anyways, hope that helped

i installed mameWah and it is tuff to configure. it will show my games but i cant select them using my usb gamepad. i set joystick to 1 in the ini file so can scroll the games but using the same gamepad to start a game does not work.

SNES - I like ZSNES
NES - I like FCE Ultra

Frontends - MAMEwah is good once you learn how to configure it.
