Title: Mamewah request
Post by: slycrel on December 03, 2003, 02:35:55 am

  Wow minwah, you sure are popular lately.  I almost hesitate to ask for this.  But then I'm selfish.  ;)

  Would it be possible to have a sound playing in mamewah as background music?  I've got a small song that loops that I'd like to have running in the background.  I've thought about other ways to do this, but nothing I can think of would be automatic and invisible to the user at the same time.  Maybe I missed something though.

  Is this possible?  Thanks for the time.

yep, and it's already built in :)
Drop your song or songs in a folder, and in mamewah audio options add the path to your folder (i.e. C:/MamewahMusic")

Wot he said, except for the slash: 'c:\mamewahmusic' ;)

I am constantly blown away by the features of Mamewah. Kudos to Minwah.

  Hmm.  I can't seem to get this to work.  I've tried the same sound as a .wav and a .mp3 file, but it doesn't seem to play.  I've tried setting the path manually as well as from within the GUI.  Windows Media Player seems to work fine with the sound.  I've also tried the default windows start .wav file and I can't get it to play either, otherwise I'd think the size was a problem (20 megs).  Is there something else I need to do?  Thanks.

Just make sure you do not enter the actual filename - just the path (eg 'c:\music', not 'c:\music\tune.mp3').

Also make sure that 'Play Music while Browsing' (within Audio Options) is set to Yes.

  Ahh, that did the trick -- no filename.  So I'm assuming that you can throw a boatload of files in there and it'll play them?  Could we get a randomizer in there with that as well, or is that already a part of it?  ;)  Time to start playing some more.  Thanks for the quick response!

edit:

Looks like the randomizer is already there.  I'm impressed!  Thanks!  ;)
