Zebidee:
I don't think that later versions of MameWAH are actually supported for Win98 OS.  Mostly, people seem to be focussing on how to run it under Vista.

That error is related to your sound card or drivers. For a quick test just disable sound in mamewah ini and it should fire right up.

I agree except there is a DirectInput problem there too.  Check DirecX installation, and ensure your sound card / drivers are DirectX compatible.
