Simply Googling 'mamewah configuration files' provides loads of help.  I also have the many .ini configuration files available for download included on my site with a decent explanation of their use.  I was able to set it up on my cab from scratch with the CPviewer page and the Screenshots archive in under an hour, research included.

Mamewah is well worth the (small) bit of effort to get it set up.

I can understand the frustration. I love mamewah (and several other FE) but the first time I set it up I was more then "grumpy". The problem is we get to used to GUI that do all the work and we get a bit lazy. I do a small amount of tech Help desk work and I cant tell you how many times I get frustrated that somebody doesnt read the documentation that came with whatever they are working on. Problem is, I'm that same guy sometimes. I rip it open and fire it up before I read/understand or examine.

Mamewah rocks when its set up, and that was enough insentive for me to "dig in" so to speak.

Hey, thanks for all the help so far.

I atually got Mamewah 1.61 up and running.
I tried running the 1.62b version but the 1.61 config tool don;t work with it.

The 1.61 config tool is really easy to use and I found it very helpful so far.

It does not recognise all the roms in the folder only 6019 i think.  I believe there are alot more.

I also got Zinc working but I cannot find a ZINC layout - so im gonna keep looking.

One thing I cannot do is get the screenshots to show up.  And I don;t have movie previews yet since I have not received the dvd's with the movies yet.

any advice for getting the screen shots to show up - i just have a part of the screen that says MAME - thats it.

I set the right artwork directory i think, but hey any advice would help.

also is there a page with lots of layouts?

lastly, i am using a JVC TV 27 inch. should i use 640x480 layout art or 800x600 layout art.

Thanks,
C1D
