Setting MAMEWAH as Shell
<< < (2/4) > >>
DaemonCollector:
What version of windows? I know for a fact that works in 98 and 98se. I have never personally tried it on ME. There may be something different about ME as it was a slightly odd structure...I'll look into it.


EDIT: did some looking and it is the same in ME...GameCreature, wanna do a test for me? try changing your shell line to "shell=notepad.exe" and see if it starts notepad up.

Yep, turns out that there's a handful of files that MaLa expects to find when starting up. Since I didn't find an option for setting a path or directory, I had to copy those files into Windows. It all works now, though Shutdown.exe doesn't shut windows off like it's supposed to :(
DaemonCollector:
"RUNDLL32 SHELL32.DLL,SHExitWindowsEx 1" use that command to shutdown windows for Windows 95-ME

Sorry, it seems that my memory is failing me, I recalled replacing the shell in Windows ME was much the same as WinNT/2000/XP, but it seems I was horribly horribly wrong. Please forgive me.

... I use XP and all is good.

Idea?
The latest version of MaLa has the option of launching apps on Mala shutdown.  If you find a .exe on the net that will shutdown ME maybe you could use that?
