Title: Newbie MameWAH question
Post by: Captain Bingo on November 23, 2004, 03:56:38 pm

After fumbling through the MameWAH setup, i think i'm almost there...  What a great program, and what a great community.

I have a question, though...

Since I am using the command line MAME and the command line options in the mame.ini, how do I change game specific settings through MameWAH?  (e.g. changing the mouse axis for StarWars, without affecting all other games)

Thanks in advance.... MAME ON !!!

Run the game, then press TAB.

That brings up the MAME and game specific settings.

Change away, they save in the .ini files.

Ah yes... i didn't think to check the dip switch/control settings for something like that.  Thanks.

What about game-specific command-line switches?

Yes, you can set up a game-specific ini file. See here: http://www.mameworld.net/easyemu/mameconfig.htm

Ugh.  After reading through all the MameWah doc files over and over and trying to go through every game possible to figure out which ones to put in my (first) machine, and hooking up my first buttons and joysticks, clearly my brain had turned into soup and I somehow forgot all about changing the settings in Mame itself.  Duh!

Thanks SM

It's a very common misunderstanding...MAME32 has inadvertantly schooled people into thinking the FE is the part with the settings...
