I know I know I am a total noob at mamewah guys but I am really having trouble getting mamewah to work right with mame  :hissy: I have been trying for at least 3-5 hours and searching for a way to get this to work but I think my lack of experience is definately what is working against me.

whenever I edit the mamewah file to tell it where to go to find the .exe for mame it finds it but when I use what I think is the "command line version" of mame like some websites are saying that I should use if I am using MameWah as my front end, it just will not work and I get this message that pops up and it usually kicks me out of mamewah when I choose either option, here is a picture of the message


(if you can't read the image here is the link to it)http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu234/kruluk23/mamewah.jpg

so whats the deal? am I just using the wrong version of mame and is that why it is not working? could it be that I am editing the document in mamewah incorrectly? I am so very confused please help me  :cry:

(This should go in the software section, methinks) ...

Could you post your .ini file?

Which version of mame should I be running if I want to use mamewah? I can't seem to find a clear answer.
TelcoLou:
Well .. the command-line version. Not MAMEUI (formally called MAME32) ... hang on, I'm going to look for something real quick-like ...

Here's an example of what a typical mame.ini should look like:

emulator_title                            Mame

### List Generation Settings ###
rom_path                                  C:\MAME\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:\MAME\mame.exe {nodosbox}{nosafelaunch}
post_emulator_app_commandlines           
general_app_commandlines
