When the game does not styart, do you get a black screen or are you still in the MameWah menu gamelist display? If you are still in the MameWah menu, then the command you are using to start Mame is not correct. I thought Mame32 was started by using a "Mame32.exe" not by using a "Mame.exe" If you are getting a black screen, then most likely the game is started, however, it is "behind" the MameWah screen. If this occurs, then try different combinations of the {nodosbox}/{dosbox} and {nosafelaunch}/{safelaunch} settings..... Let me know how it goes .... |

At last just changed mame.exe to mame32.exe and games load up ;D Fantastic thanks a lot unclet :notworthy: cheers Is there any way i can just get mamewah to display the games in my favorites folder insted of displaying all 5000 odd games in the roms folder if there is that would be the icing on my mamewah cake. ;D :applaud: |

1) Go into "...\MameWah\Configs\" 2) Make a copy of "mame-0.ini" and name it "mame-1.ini" 3) Edit "mame-1.ini" and rename the "list_title" to "Favorites" (or anything you want to call it) 4) Start MameWah 5) Select a game you wish to mark as your "favorite" 6) Press "2" to bring up Options menu 7) Select "Game List Options" 7) Select "Add Game to List" 8 ) Select "Favorites" (this adds the game to your Favorites list) 9) Press "2" to bring up Options menu once again 10) Choose "Select Games List" 11) Choose "Favorites" (or whatever name you select for your list_title) (this will display only the games listed in your Favorites game list) ** You can add as many "<emuname>-#.ini" files as you want (example: Dad's favorites, Children games, Shooters, Driving Games, etc..) Also, in Mame only (?) I believe there is away to use an already created Mame DAT file to allow MameWah to split up the Driving Games, Shooters, etc.... into separate lists (although this is a question for someone else :P) I added a "mame-2.ini" file and set my list_title to "No Clones" and did the following: a) Started MameWah b) pressed "2" to get to the options menu c) Chose "Select Game List" d) Chose "No Clones" e) Press "2" to get the options menu once again f) Chose "Game List Options" g) Chose "Generate Filtered List" h) now set the "Display Clones" to "NO" by toggling through choices by pressing "1" i) Press "2" to backout and save settings (this should produce a complete Mame game list without listing all the clones) Also, adding other emulators to MameWah should now be very easy. Here is what you need to do to add another emulator: 1) Under the "...\MameWah\Config\" folder add a new folder called "(emuname)" 2) In the "(emuname)" folder, create an "(emuname).INI" file (ie: main emulator file) (I copied it from mame.ini) 3) In the "(emuname)" folder, create an "(emuname)-0.INI" file (ie: must exist and list_title must be "All Games") (I copied from Mame-0.ini) 4) If you want other specific game lists for this specific emulator then you can add other " (emuname)-#INI" files and edit the list_title appropriately. 5) Start MameWah 6) Press "2" to get the options menu 7) Now you can choose "Select Platforms" and see all your emulators in thereto select from .... Just remember to execute all emulators in a command window first before adding them to MameWah so you can determine whether the emulator starts and acts like it should and all emulator settings are like you want them first. Let me know how it goes .... |

I already have a favourites list in my mame32 folder C:\mame\mame32\folders\favourites is there anyway to make mamewah use this then i wouldnt have to go through all the roms again adding them to a favourites list when ive already done it once in mame ? Also could you tell me how to mame mamewah display the game name correctly insted of listing games as the rom name. e.g insted of listing bubble bobble its calling it bubblbobr etc hope you understand what i mean. thanks |
