GBA in mamewah

Doc Thirst:
Quick easy question...yes I searched.  Is there a command line gba emu out there  (for mamewah)?  If so, where might I track down such a gem?  I am only finding gui versions and they arn't playing well in the mamewah enviorment.
unclet:
What I did was to go to jcrouse's CPViewer site where he also provides many various emulator INI files which are meant to work with MameWah:

http://home.comcast.net/~cpviewer/downloads.htm

Download the INI file related to the emulator you are interested in, edit it and look at the "emulator_commandline" setting to see what emulator application they use for that emulator.

For example .... for GBA, the INI file has the following line in it:


--- Quote ---emulator_commandline       c:\visualboyadvance\visualboyadvance.exe  blah blah blah
--- End quote ---

which indicates "VisualBoyAdvance" is the emulator they use with MameWah...... and the one which you are probably looking for .....

NOTE:  VisualBoy advanced can be used for Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Super Gameboy and Gameboy Advanced


good luck

Doc Thirst:
Hey thanks a ton, exactly what I needed!
Doc Thirst:
OK while I'm asking dumb questions...

I'm using the command line I found on the screenshot archive but with one small flaw...the screen is flipped 90 degrees.  Any idea where I can look config wise to fix this?
Fat_Trucker:
Your gameboy advance ini in mamewah should read something like this (with any changes made to reflect the directories you have it installed to).

emulator_executable                       c:\gba\visualboyadvance.exe
commandline_format                        "[rompath]\[name].[romext]"{dosbox}{safelaunch}

Hope that helps.
