But I want to run mamewah as shell. So joy2key won't work this way. If I make it launch with a game i'll have more than one running in the background when I change games right?

I just added a section to the wiki that might address your problem:

The link in this second article demonstrates setting up XYNTService and PPJoy together. I believe the solution to your problem is similar, except that you want to go from joy2key instead of key2joy.

I decided to try a bat before upgrading. Replaced explorer with a
bat: start /wait c:\emu\joy2key\joy2key.exe
c:\emu\mamewah\mamewah.exe
Mamewah starts only after closing joy2key. Tried using batchrun. It creates  a .brs instead of .bat It doesn't work as a shell. At startup explorer is still loaded. It ignores the shell path placed in regedit. It only works if I run  it from explorer or put it in the startup folder which can be done manually and defeats the whole purpose of not loading explorer. I will have a look at the wiki jelwell. Thanks!

I finally got it working with XYNTService after a few problems. I set mamewah as shell in regedit and joytokey as a service but it kept giving me Error 2147467259 ctrlr- initialisedI. As a workaround I setup Joytokey as shell and mamewah as a service. Now it works great!! Thanks jelwell!
