Title: MAMEWAH -- Can each game (on one list) run a different program?
Post by: sofakng on August 09, 2004, 02:48:18 pm
Here's what I'm trying to do:

In MAMEWAH I want to have two lists, one for MAME ROMs and one for pinball games.  All of my MAME ROMs will run through mame.exe that isn't a problem.

When I switch to my pinball list, I'd like to have ALL my pinball games on the same page.  This list would include all my Visual Pinball tables (which run through Howard's wrapper) AND my seperate .exe games (such as Pro Pinball Big Race and Pro Pinball TimeShock).

Is this possible?  I'm trying to avoid having to create an entirely seperate list with just one single game on it.

One last somewhat related question... On my main list (the MAME list), can I have only certain games use a different emulator?  For example lets say I want Marvel vs Capcom to run in Kawaks instead of mame.exe but I still want it to appear on the main list...

Sorry for the complicated questions...

Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong but you can not mix emulators in a list in MAMEwah.  You just can't in the current build.  That may be one of the thing's Minwah's changing n the next release but I can't remember.

You'd have to create .bat files for each game, then have mamewah use .bat as the extension of the rom, so that these get listed in your ".bat" emulator

Ok, that doesn't sound like a bad idea...

So I create a dummy directory then create batch files for every game...

However, if the name of the rom is <gamename>.bat then what would the emulator executable name be? ...or do I just leave that blank?
