Title: Had to rebuild my hard drive, Mamewah 1.69 'No Games Available' - .ini help?
Post by: Nocturnaloner on February 06, 2013, 12:44:40 pm

After 7 years of faithful service, my mame cab hard drive crashed.  I couldn't even slave it and get the data off, so I'm starting from scratch, with mame .90 era exe and roms.

I've gone over the mamewah documentation, and started fresh with 1.69, but for the life of me, and can't get mamewah to load a games list.

What are the paths that I absolutely must fill in, in what ini files, to load a list of games?

It looks like at some point there was an automatic configuration tool for mamewah, but it seems to have disappeared.

You should start by posting your Mamewah/config/ Mame/Mame.ini file.

Ok, I'll copy them over on a thumb drive in a bit, it's not on the network right now.
