Title: Can MAMEWAH recognize more than one rom extension
Post by: Postalp on October 09, 2004, 11:34:24 am

Hello all,

When setting up MAMEWAH, in emulator options you have to set the extension for the ROMS to be recognized (EX: .zip)

But what if you have .zip files as well as your .chd files? Its either one or the other so far and .chd have to be unzipped to work.

It would be great to get those .chd games recognized, any help on having MAMEWAH recognize both extensions?

Thanks in advance!

.chd games need also rom files to play these games! So there are no problems to get them viewable in MAMEWAH.

.chd are just compressed harddrive files, and have nothing to do with rom files (wich is seperatly).

For the record, if you have some rom files compressed (.zip) and some uncompressed (.nes) - nintendo for example, put a * as the rom extention and all files in that folder will be recognized.

The CHD thing aside: They'll be recognized by mamewah, but unfortunately mamewah will also (last I tried) attempt to send commandlines like <your emulator> C:/roms/yourgame.* instead of the rom's actual extension.

True - this is only a problem if you need to 'send_rom_extension' however.
