Let me preface this by stating that I am evidently an idiot, because despite reading many posts on how to get MAMEWAH up and running, I can't seem to do it. Perhaps it is because all of my computing experience is limited to GUI systems, and a command line makes me apoplectic. With all that said, can anyone help shepherd me through the process? I've installed the Windows command line version of MAME 0.102, and MAMEWAH v1.61. MAME is installed at c:\mame with roms at c:\mame\roms, MAMEWAH is installed in the Program Files directory on the c:\ drive. When I start MAMEWAH, it indicates that there are no games -- I gather that there are things in the mame.ini file I need to change, but I'm not clear on exactly what needs to be changed and to what. I've looked through the forums and haven't found anything that has allowed me to correct the problem. Can anyone out there share their wisdom or direct me to a resource that will help? Thanks in advance |

Just for grins and giggles, I put mamewah in a subfolder under mame on my machine. Actually, just to keep it all together. Beyond that, when you launch mamewah, hit "2" and then follow along to Games List Options. Hit "1". Generate list. Hit "1" to do that. "1" is the new <enter>. Try that--should work for you. |

Thanks, but I've done that and it hasn't addressed the problem -- I hit "1" and nothing changes, still no games... |
| Roughy:
Then you probably haven't identified your roms directly correctly in the .ini. Why don't you tell us what you've done without success so we can help you better? |
| toasty:
I can do that, although I'm not sitting in front of that particular computer right now, so I'll have to do it later. In brief, though, I changed the mame.ini file to include the correct path to the mame.exe application and to the roms. Like I said, though, I'll just post what I've done once I get home this evening. Thanks. |
