Convert MameWah 1.61 layout to work with 1.62 beta
« on: February 07, 2006, 11:57:23 am »
Hello,

I just downloaded and mostly configured the new MameWah 1.62 beta (to fix some issues I am having with 1.61)  Anyway, I have a layout that I use with MameWah that I would like to continue to use with the new version.  What do I need to do so that it still works with the artwork.  I am using marquees, flyers, and cabinets on my layout.  Would anyone be willing to take a look at my .lay file and possibly fix it for me?  Thanks in advance!

Could jump over to the forums at mameworld.info as Minwah virtually lives there. Sure someone could help.

I haven't actually made the jump from 1.61 yet but happy to take a look and figure it out if you're really stuck.
I didn't touch it....honest!

I had the artwork named incorrectly, and had to add the 3rd artwork name to my ini file.  They are one long string separated by ; now instead of individual lines in the ini.

Didn't even know there was a 1.62. Guess I'll have to go have a looksee.  Where can I find it and a list of what's new?

  Thanks!  Now everyone else with the same problem will be able to do a search and hopfully find your answer, providing you with fame and acclaim for years to come.

Just to confirm the layout format itself has not changed in v1.62bx.

electricd: could you please post beta-related questions at the Mamewah board - it makes things easier and I'm more likely to see it there.
