No one seems to have updated wikis, ini's, or working programs that represent what is needed to get pc games to work in the most recent version of Mamewah. As a sample im trying to run a batch file to get Gridwars to start. I just did a clean copy and am editing the mame.ini file. My batch file simply runs the exe. My ini file looks like: ### Execution Settings ### pre_emulator_app_commandlines emulator_commandline PC [name].bat{autodosbox}{nosafelaunch} post_emulator_app_commandlines general_app_commandlines and my log file shows up with: 1/22/2008 12:45:01 PM MAMEWAH v1.62 launched 1/22/2008 12:45:01 PM Cursor scheme: (None), Arrow: (None), Wait: (None), AppStarting: (None) 1/22/2008 12:45:01 PM Desktop colour: 0 1/22/2008 12:45:01 PM Wallpaper filename: firefox.bmp 1/22/2008 12:45:01 PM Desktop display mode: 1920x1200 @ 60Hz, 32bit colour 1/22/2008 12:45:01 PM Decimal symbol: '.' 1/22/2008 12:45:01 PM Games list read: mame-0.lst 1/22/2008 12:45:01 PM Layout selected: C:\Emulators\config\layout.lay 1/22/2008 12:45:02 PM No. joystick devices attached: 0 1/22/2008 12:45:02 PM Ctrlr file selected: C:\Emulators\config\mamewah.cfg 1/22/2008 12:45:02 PM Keyboard enabled 1/22/2008 12:45:06 PM List generation started... 1/22/2008 12:45:06 PM List generation finished 1/22/2008 12:45:06 PM Games list read: mame-0.lst 1/22/2008 12:45:07 PM gridwars.bat does not exist in LaunchApplication. 1/22/2008 12:45:16 PM gridwars.bat does not exist in LaunchApplication. 1/22/2008 12:45:19 PM MAMEWAH quit Please help, I cant figure this out for the life of me. |

I think it should go something like this. --- Code: ---### pcgame.ini (mamewah v1.62) ### :blah: emulator_title PC Games ### List Generation Settings ### rom_path C:\juegos\pcgame rom_extension bat dat_file auto:[emuexepath]\[emuexename].dat nms_file auto:[emuexepath]\[emuexename].nms catver_ini_file auto:[emuexepath]\catver.ini list_generation_method rom_folder ### Execution Settings ### pre_emulator_app_commandlines emulator_commandline PC post_emulator_app_commandlines general_app_commandlines --- End code --- |

That makes no sense to me because you are not specifying anything to run. Not that I fully understand what the PC command is supposed to do anyway. I tried it anyway, and nothing happened, I generated my list (successfully) and tried to run the bat three times, it never even showed up in the log: 1/22/2008 2:32:09 PM MAMEWAH v1.62 launched 1/22/2008 2:32:09 PM Cursor scheme: (None), Arrow: (None), Wait: (None), AppStarting: (None) 1/22/2008 2:32:09 PM Desktop colour: 0 1/22/2008 2:32:09 PM Wallpaper filename: firefox.bmp 1/22/2008 2:32:09 PM Desktop display mode: 1920x1200 @ 60Hz, 32bit colour 1/22/2008 2:32:09 PM Decimal symbol: '.' 1/22/2008 2:32:09 PM Games list read: mame-0.lst 1/22/2008 2:32:09 PM Layout selected: C:\Emulators\config\layout.lay 1/22/2008 2:32:09 PM No. joystick devices attached: 0 1/22/2008 2:32:09 PM Ctrlr file selected: C:\Emulators\config\mamewah.cfg 1/22/2008 2:32:09 PM Keyboard enabled 1/22/2008 2:32:12 PM List generation started... 1/22/2008 2:32:12 PM List generation finished 1/22/2008 2:32:12 PM Games list read: mame-0.lst 1/22/2008 2:32:19 PM MAMEWAH quit Maybe Ill just switch to MaLa and see if I can get it working there, does anyone else have any suggestions here? |

Wow talk about spoke too soon, just got it working after posting this. Hah! For posterity's sake: 1) Create links to the batch files or exe's you wish to run 2) Group all links into a folder 3) Setup your Ini similarly: ### List Generation Settings ### rom_path c:\Emulators rom_extension lnk dat_file nms_file catver_ini_file c:\mame\catver.ini list_generation_method rom_folder ### Execution Settings ### pre_emulator_app_commandlines emulator_commandline PC post_emulator_app_commandlines general_app_commandlines 4) Things learned: ONLY works with lnk (shortcuts) files. But you can make shortcuts to batch files, so it shouldnt be an issue. |

I'm not near my machine right now, but from memory what I did was to put the rom_extension as bat and then put the full path into the emulator_commandline like this: C:\Program Files\LegoStarWarsI\LegoStarWars.bat In doing this I there has to be a separate config folder for each PC application, which also means a separate page within Mamewah, but I only have a few installed anyhow so it's no big deal for me. |
