Just thinking ahead as my Cabs not MAMEd yet. Can I select Arcade Jukebox (or another jukebox) from the Mamewah EMU list to play and control with sticks and buttons, or must I boot then go into Arcade Jukebox?
I'm asking because I plan on booting straight into Mamewah .. so would be nice not to have to re-boot into Windows and then select the Jukebox.
If it's not possible, is there any way of avoiding getting to the Jukebox through the desktop .. and doing it still in 'Arcade mode'?
Thx

well I can't vouch for this for sure, but basically there should not be a problem - you can launch pretty much any pc application/game from Minwah.
The only 'catch' is that you (currently) seperate pc apps into there own 'Emu' within Mamewah, set up the extenstion as *.bat and then create a batch file for each program and shove all the *.bat files in a dir and set this as you PC emu dir. So you would make a txt file named Juke.bat and in it have the line "c:\jukebox\jukewin.exe" or whatever (maybe add a "cd c:\jukebox" line - not sure if its fussy about the launch dir.
I think Minwah is currently rewriting parts of Mamewah which may allow mixing of emus (as people want to list all the driving games in one list - from arcade/pc/dreamcast etc.....) which would allow you to stick the Jukebox option anywhere. Don't quote me though, as I think its a major rewrite.
hope that helps.

I tried that and got one game to work. I got a "...75...something" error when exiting the game (still working on that...).
I was wondering if there was a way to make seperate .bat files for each game and have them all listed on one emulator list.
I tried that but Mamewah requires the "Emulator" to assign only one specific .exe file for the "Emulator".
When each game has a different .exe it doesn't work.
Any way around this?
Does this make sense?
Thanks
