Mamewah help
BigDaddyE:
So I have spent the last couple of days working on the cab, slowly it is coming to life.
I am working on the mamewah front end, cauz I want to run multiple emu types.
Here is the error, well, not really an error, it never starts:

From what I can tell, mamewah doesn't like the resolution, but I can't figure out how to change it. I have an arcade card and Andy says on the web sight to change the mamewah.cfg file, but I can't read it to change it.
Any ideas, I'm sure it's simple, just can't figure it out.

Looks like you need to edit the layout file. Go into the layout designer, load your layout, and change the resolution and refresh.
BigDaddyE:
So I set it to 60 hz and 32 bit at 640 x 480.
Not sure how to change the 640 x 480 if I have to.

I was just taking a guess. I could be completely wrong. ;D
I only said that because it looked like that's when the error happens.
BigDaddyE:
Anyone have an ini file that works for 1.65?
Since mine doesn't work, maybe if I use one that does and then customize it, that would work?
