NES - FCEUltra
SNES - zsnesw

sweet thanks, i got most to work, but my roms/shots aren't named the same as from the screen shot source on that site, oh well it's only nes games that don't have pics.
do you know how to get epsxe to work in mamewah, i'm not sure how to set it up without roms (need it to boot when a cd is loaded into the drive). so i'd like it to be setup like this: switch to psx emulator screen in mamewah, insert cd, hit a button to play or have it auto load. i'm guessing that i could just set epsxe to autoload with windows and leave it running in the bg all the time until i insert a cd to play. but when i exit epsxe i'd like to be able to be back in mamewah.
if anyone has any idea's let me know.

Do some searching in this forum and you'll find instructions. That's how I figured it out last fall. You'll need to make a batch file for Mamewah to execute (for launching ePSXe) but you otherwise set it up just like any other emulator.
That said, I've been using disk images (.bin files) so that the romlist can be built in Mamewah and the filename can be sent to ePSXe as an argument. You'll probably have to tweak the command line in the batch file to point to the CDROM drive instead of a local ROM file. I'm guessing that you'll have to mount the CD first and then tell ePSXe to simply load whatever game is in the drive as soon as it is launched from Mamewah.
The benefit of having copies of your games on the hard-drive is that you can pick them from a Mamewah game list. The drawback, obviously, is that it eats up lots of disk space. I only keep the games that are awesome on a cabinet loaded on the hard drive. To be honest, I use a real Playstation for the rest of the games and don't mess too much with having to load individual PSX CDs into the cabinet one at a time as I desire to play a game. Or I play on another computer that has a PSX controller on it and easy access to the CD drawer.
Good luck!

From my website:
Playstation - ePSXe
First, make a new bat file. For example: epsxe.bat. Next, open the new file with notepad and then fill it with:
epsxe.exe -nogui -loadbin %1
In Mamewah, set up this file as your emulator. Also, set ROM Extension to bin and rename all your psx image exstensions to bin. Now, Mamewah will load the command line epsxe.exe -nogui -loadbin %1 replaceing %1 with the game in your list.
