Absolute nonsense. Although if you launch mame32.exe by itself you get a GUI/frontend, using the command line functions of mame32 to launch a rom etc work in EXACTLY the same way as command line mame.
It works perfectly fine with mamewah, how do I know? - I use mame32 myself.

Hello Arcade Mad
I use mamewah 1.61 with mame 32 it is a little hard to setupat first but once you do you will see how it all works and how easy it really is.  If you let me know I can start walking you through the setup process.  I use cpviewer with mine and also emumovies and screensavers and the works.  Would be glad to help. :cheers:
