Hello all I have just finished my first Mame cabinet. YES! ;D I'm using Mamewah as my front-end. It seemed to be the easiest to setup and configure. Does anyone out there have cool sound effects for their Mamewah that I can use. Don't really like the ones that came with it.
Thanks a bunch.

I just took them from gamespy arcade. Don't have them anymore because my hard-drive crashed though.

I've got a bunch of them that i can send, but you will have to rename them to what you want intro,navigate,etc...
Let me know and i'll send em

Mamewah
Totally unrelated note:
Thank you for not typing "Mamewah" in all caps. Minwah doesn't type it that way and neither should ANYONE else. I'm sorry to vent I just can't stand titles in all caps. I swear if one more person types it in all caps I'm going to pull a page from Jay and Silent Bob, drive to the person's house, knock on the door, and kick the living crap out of them!!!!

Chill out man

Actually there is at least one thread started by Minwah where he typed Mamewah in all caps:

Ugh, I'll smack him later then. It's the graphic designer in me....
Things normally shouldn't be all caps to begin with.
MAME you can do because it's an acronym. It's done that way to save you the pain of typing in the little periods after each letter.
Pretty sure the "wah" in mame way doesn't stand for anything, even if it does it shouldn't be capitalized for the following reasons:
You don't use all caps on words with two syllables.
Except in extreme circumstances you don't use all caps on words with more than 6 letters.
I'm by no means a grammar expert... as a matter of fact some of the stuff I write is barely readable.
However, there are a few things that are so bad I can't ignore them. Like a million emoticons in a two sentence post, a three paragraph run-on sentence, and putting too many capital letters in a word or sentence.
Remember, all caps is considered shouting on the internet. :)
They only reason I brought it up is for the sheer number of times I've seen this offense repeated. You guys are smart, when somebody spells something wrong don't copy them and spell it the wrong way. ;)

Sorry Howard, I do write MAMEWAH a lot :P I'm not trying to shout, I just feel MAME should be in caps, and 'MAMEwah' looks wrong somehow.
I think more importantly I should ask why my FE has such a crap name :D

i love MAMEWAH !
