Hoopz: Regarding the MinWah issue.... First off, I actually think I PM'd him awhile back.. and we talked. I was unaware that he was still bothered by my comments, or that he had enlisted you to defend his honor and feelings. If that's the case, and you need an apology as well, ok. I have no problems with MinWah. I really like MameWah - it looks like a beautiful FE. Unfortunately, I can't get the damn thing to run right on my cab and nobody seems to know why. All the games run in the same resolution when run from MameWah. MinWah and nobody else has been able to fix this or explain what could be happening. I finally gave up. I hope to later at some point, try to get it working again. |

Pricing is relitive. What is it worth to you. I bought a Defender for 375 plus buyers premium and tax was about 450. But this was like my favorite game and was well worth it. I cleaned it up and eventually sold it for 455. I had to get new video decoders for it, so it was a 10-15 dollar video game rental for 4 months of having a great game in my house. Can't beat that. DO NOT CONVERT. Unless it has already been badly bastardized. I converted a qix that was even converted already and it felt horrible. If you have any respect for what it is that you are buying. If you want a shell to MAME then check out e-bay and a lot of times there are cabs just prime for conversion. Beter yet... Build your own. |

MAMEwah is a great frontend, one of the easiest to setup graphically, and MinWah does a great job of supporting it in the forums. It is also undoubtedly the most difficult FE to setup that I have ever tried. I never got any games to show up until I stumbled across a tutorial at screenshotarchive that got it working. Then with the new version, that method didn't work, and I ended up having to copy my config file over from the previous version to get it to list games. . . --- End quote --- I don't disagree at all, but to attack Minwah (and others in various posts) is not the best way to try and find more information. Dax, I don't need an apology. You stated, albeit in the deleted post, that you apologized numerous times about it and you didnt realize you had to keep doing etc. If you did it via PM, great. But those who were reading the threads were not aware of it. |

I think one major reason why the software is so un-user-friendly is due to the way it handles config files. You can't put your own comments in, because the program apparently reads, strips and re-writes the config file when its run. This design flaw means that people cannot easily distribute documented config setups that help others get the software running efficiently. With that in mind, I still recognize that the software is a gift, and it might seem a bit selfish to criticize a product that is donated to the community in one form or another, but I only say this to suggest that a great product, with a few improvements, can be made even better. It sure looks better than any other FE I've seen. I just can't get it to run right, and having a developer around, and still not knowing WTF is wrong, compounds my frustration. I plan to check into the software again soon though. |

I want to get along with everybody here and I want to contribute, and I don't mind you all telling me I might be a little insensitive or caustic sometimes, I can handle that. It's better than copping an attitude and suggesting I'm not worthy of consideration... that'll just get my gander up. Anyway, I'm over all this and I hope everyone else is too. I was definitely burned out trying to get my cab working, especially when I'm a software guy and I figured out the hardware and the software stopped me cold.. that just really pissed me off. I still am upset at myself when I think about it. I hate it when I can't get a program that should work to work. |
