Title: mamewah and batch files
Post by: wassabi on June 05, 2004, 09:55:16 am
Can someone help me with a batch file?
 
I'm trying make it so in mamewah I can switch to a list then start an executable game. So in other words there is only one entry on the list and that is to start the game.

I know enough about batch files that I think one would solve this problem for me.  Or is there a much easier way to do this?

That won't work.  You can only launch a batch file in MAMEWAH by using it as a substitute for the 'Emulator Executable' - this is only executed when you hit P1 Start.

So basically you can't do it :( - you'll have to hit Start to launch the 1 item in the list...

Please Minwah, I am sorry I didn't explain this better.  Pressing start for the first item on the list is what I ment.  
I would like to know how I can do it.

Thanks for putting up with me.

Pressing start is just hit '1'...

Are you having trouble actually generating the list with your app. in it?  If so, there is a section about how to do it in the MAMEWAH readme ;)

Guess we got a RTFM situation.  
New problem though, can't get the ap to start after starting it in Mamewah.  I'll press 1 then the system will hang with the message starting ap, till I press crt+alt+del.  

Here's a snipet from the cfg and I'm only including the lines I changed from default.

Code: [Select]
ROM Path = C:\LINKS
ROM Extension = LNK
List Generation Method = 0

;EXECUTION SETTINGS
Emulator Executable = PC
Send ROM Path = True
Send ROM Extension = True
Show DOS Box = 0

Set Show DOS Box to '1' - some PC apps (& emus) require this.
