elecdojo:
sorry in advance if this has been covered.. looks like it has just can understand what there on about.... I am running mamewah fe with about 12 games on it... just the order of the games dont run as I would like them too... could someone help/guide me through sorting them into a list for me?
MrQuan:
MameWah lists in alphabetical order only as far as I'm aware. (Except for those 'most played' lists.)

Ok, Here's a hack to do it and I'd imagine totally unsupported.  Total Hack.

MAMEWAH seems to alphabetize based on game name.  Open up your Lst file and change the name of the games so that they will alphabetize in the order you want.  The LST file has 13 entries for each game, some entries may of may not be filled out.  The first entry is the rom name, the second is the game name.  Only change the game name.

ex. LST file with donkey kong and pacman.  MAMEWAH will now display Pacman first.

Don't futz with it too much or you may have to regenerate your list.  I suggest backing up before you start.
