Hello all! I am new to this hobby and am having some problems. I have configured MAMEWAH V162 to run with MAME (V113 & V061) and it works like a champ. All the information I needed was available on this site and net.... It took me a while to work through configuring it but I finally got it up looking the way I want it to. Now I am trying to configure some various console emulators and coming up with nothing. I have been at this for days, I know it is a newbee mistake I am sure. I have tried using various example *.ini files I have found here and on other sites (CPViewer) with no luck. My first attempt is the modified FCEU I got off of the CPViewer site. The closest I have come to getting anything to work is when I copy my MAME *.ini file and re configure it for FCEU.... It looks like this: ### NES.ini (mamewah v1.62) ### emulator_title Nintendo ### List Generation Settings ### rom_path c:\arcade\nes\roms rom_extension zip dat_file nms_file catver_ini_file list_generation_method rom_folder_vs_listxml ### Execution Settings ### pre_emulator_app_commandlines emulator_commandline c:\arcade\nes\fceu.exe [name]{nodosbox} post_emulator_app_commandlines general_app_commandlines ### Artwork Settings ### artwork_image_paths c:\arcade\nes\snapsth]\art9;[emuexepath]\art10 movie_preview_path c:\arcade\nes\previews movie_artwork_no 1 enable_fuzzy_search 0 history_dat_file history_dat_artwork_no 2 ### Screen-Saver Settings ### enable_music_in_screensaver 1 select_random_game 0 saver_type gamelist_slideshow movie_path movie_fullscreen 1 quit_delay 0 saver_commandline ### Additional Settings ### music_path lcd_display_file_path description_display [description]{scroll} ### Settings used by MAMEWAH ### current_list 0 What happens is when I try to generate a game list FCEU opens in a small window, no roms load to my layout list and i get an "Error opening "-listxml"! message. (I am putting a screen shot of the error on here.) Now I am not a complete tard.... I obviously know this has something to do with the "list generation method" setting in my *.ini file but when I remove that and set it to auto or rom folder nothing happens at all. Once again I am sure I am just working my way through common mistakes..... but pulling my hair out every night is becoming frustrating. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer! |

Heyd dude, Try this c:\arcade\nes\fceu.exe "[rompath]\[name].[romext]"{dosbox}{safelaunch} hope it helps |

oh and on list generation method, just have Rom_Folder |
| patrickmaher:
The reason you get the error is that -listxml is not valid to use for NES. You should be using rom_folder but it gives you no response because MameWah does not see any roms and you get a blank list. MameWah does not see this as an error so it does not give you any visual response. List generation should be list_generation_method rom_folder Check that your roms are really at the path you have specified rom_path c:\arcade\nes\roms Also check that the roms are .zip files, if not you need to change zip to the correct extension on this line rom_extension zip You can also look at the mamewah.log to see what it says is happening during the list generation. |

OK I changed the files as suggested (Thx Jedi) and I verified that the directory to the roms folder is correct and that the roms in that folder are all zip files. This time when I generate list the message window pops up and says scanning rom folder (or something like that) and then closes with no change. Here is the log that is generated: 5/15/2007 7:12:17 PM MAMEWAH v1.62 launched 5/15/2007 7:12:17 PM Cursor scheme: Windows Default, Arrow: C:\WINDOWS\Cursors\arrow_l.cur, Wait: (None), AppStarting: (None) 5/15/2007 7:12:17 PM Desktop colour: 0 5/15/2007 7:12:17 PM Wallpaper filename: C:\Documents and Settings\Michelle\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Wallpaper1.bmp 5/15/2007 7:12:17 PM Desktop display mode: 1024x768 @ 60Hz, 32bit colour 5/15/2007 7:12:17 PM Decimal symbol: '.' 5/15/2007 7:12:17 PM Games list read: Old Mame-0.lst 5/15/2007 7:12:17 PM Layout selected: C:\Arcade\MAMEWAH V162\config\Old Mame\\layout.lay 5/15/2007 7:12:18 PM No. joystick devices attached: 0 5/15/2007 7:12:18 PM Ctrlr file selected: C:\Arcade\MAMEWAH V162\config\mamewah.cfg 5/15/2007 7:12:18 PM Keyboard enabled 5/15/2007 7:12:21 PM Layout selected: C:\Arcade\MAMEWAH V162\config\NES\\layout.lay 5/15/2007 7:12:21 PM Games list read: NES-0.lst 5/15/2007 7:12:24 PM List generation started... 5/15/2007 7:12:24 PM List generation aborted 5/15/2007 7:12:24 PM Games list read: NES-0.lst 5/15/2007 7:12:49 PM MAMEWAH quit So now I think It got better......
