mameWAH; help with sounds
(1/2) > >>
arzoo:
I was hoping my first post would not be a call for help, but...
I've got mamewah working pretty will with the mame and daphne emulators, but I can't seem to get the FE to play any sounds (game sounds work fine). My /layout folder has a group of .wav files (into.wav, navigate.wav, options.wav, etc.) and my mamewah.ini has enable_sounds 1. I've read through the layouts.txt file and I've searched the forums, but I just can't get and sounds to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I ran into a weird issue where I had to basically put files directly into my emu folders... have you tried putting them there?

In other words, to get my mame artwork to show up, I had to put my 'mame theme' into my mame folder as art, art1, etc...

Perhaps this will help with you? Try putting it directly into your emu folder named generically (ie: no emuname bit)

Although I'm suddenly thinking you have to put it in a sounds folder somewhere.... *sigh*



Well, if that doesn't work... what version of mamewah are you using?
arzoo:
I'm using version 1.6.1 and I used the new config tool for configuring the emulators.

I just went through this exercise.  I have v1.61.  I don't remember specifics, but I believe that the navigate, etc sounds all need to go in your layout folder. 

If you want background music files to be played, create a new folder under mamewah called something like 'background' and put all your music files there.  Then edit the ini to edit the music location to the new folder.

Another thing to note is that I could not get mamewah to play background music unless they were mp3.  But the opposite is true for the sound effects.  I had to have them in wav format.

arzoo:
Yes, all my background sound files are in the layout folder. I've also tried putting them in the _installed layout folder. Still no luck.
