Title: MAMEWAH and Microsoft Pinball
Post by: Steve G on July 28, 2003, 10:58:10 pm

Has anyone tried to launch Microsoft Pinball via MAMEWAH ?
I have a few PC Games setup in MAMEWAH and they all run fine but when I try to launch Microsoft Pinball, MAMEWAH just goes to a blank white screen and locks up but I still hear the intro to the game playing in the background !
Can anyone help me, please ?

I made a special version of the command line wrapper a while back that launches each table individually.  Believe it or not, each table is a seperate exe, you just have to send a special command line argument to each table to trick it into thinking it's being launched by the main program.  


I don't know if that helps your problem though, I just thought I would mention it.

Try setting the 'Show DOS Box' setting to 'Yes'...
