Launching epsxe from mamewah...
 
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 this file up 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.

What do you do if your iso image isn't in bin-cue format but e.g. in iso (nero) or ccd  (clonecd) or mds (alcohol 120%)

What I'm doing now is load the cd image with alcohol and than starting epsxe and "run cd"

Any comments on this?

I don't think it matters what the file extension is.  ePSXe will determine the type of image the you are using.  I have renamed both nero images and mds images sucessfully.

I always rename to .BIN regardless of what kind of file it is. MAMEWAH wants to use a single file suffix, and ePSXe can figure it out.

I'm coincidentally messing with my MAMEWAH batch files tonight and saw this thread. Thought I'd post my epsx.bat file because it deals with some of the issues mentioned here and some I don't even remember any more.

epsxe.exe -nogui -loadbin "%1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9"

The quotes are really important.
