Title: MAMEWAH self corrupting (?)
Post by: JoeB on October 05, 2003, 03:08:45 pm

I use my regular desktop computer with the XP remote desktop to connect to the arcade machine for remote administration.

I noticed that when I do that, the remote desktop controller connects @ 1024x768, and so the MAMEWAH shows up as a mall box.  I press 2, select exit and off doing maintenance.

What I did notice is when MAMEWAH tries to get back it, and exits with an error.. and the cause is the MAMEWAH.CFG file is corrupt! About 3/4 of it is missing!  Anyone else noticed this problem??

I still haven't figured out the problem with this thread either:

I don't really understand this part, but some other users have found their config file to be incomplete.  The only solution that some have found is that there is >1 instance of MW running - check that first...
