| Easy switching between MAMEWAH and WinCab |
| << < (2/3) > >> |
| Havok:
Does Mamewah have the ability to run a custom application and wait for completion? I know in Atomic, you can define a custom key, and associate an application to run with it. Can you do something similar in Mamewah? That way, you would be in Mamewah, hit the custom key which runs WinCab, and when you exit it brings you back to Mamewah? |
| FrizzleFried:
Yes...you can launch applications from MAMEWAH. At least with 1.62B12 you can. It will create an additional setting on the OPTIONS screen...i believe it comes up as APPLICATIONS or something...I am not 100% sure...but I do remember seeing it once when I installed someone elses .ini file trying to get this thing configured. Is WinCab decent for running music with an arcade monitor? |

When wincab closes, then mamewah will open. It's a brilliant idea, actually :) --- End quote --- I think you would have to do something like this: start /wait c:\wincab\wincab.exe c:\mamewah\mamewah.exe Otherwise Mamewah will be run immediately after WinCab, without waiting for WinCab to terminate. --- End quote --- Nope. It's not needed. Try my way. It works! |

Thanks for the ideas fellas. When I return home this week I will give all of these a try, to see what works best. I knew there would be an easier way, and I knew I'd find it here! |

Although all skins scale to all resolutions, the fonts on the default skin are likely to be pretty unreadable on an arcade monitor. If you don't like the results, drop me a note and I'll help you adjust a skin to taste. |
