Title: MameWah loading sounds problem???
Post by: Tritoch84 on December 07, 2004, 08:47:30 pm

When I asign a music directory, mamewah played the intro once, then went ERROR Check log for blah blah blah.

So I shut it down, and restarted mamewah, it didn't even play the sound now, and just loads that error screen! It must be something in windows, but I can't think of anything. Here is the log.

(This is the first time I have tried to open music with MameWah, and I only have an Intro asigned. It's a MP3)

Sounds like you are pointing to a specific MP3 file.

Ah! Silly me, I mis read the file.

I was using an mp3, and had been only pointing to a  folder, not a file, but I was mistaken on one little aspect, it should work now. Thanks

*slaps forehead*

I wanted the intro soundeffect, not the looped music,

*slaps self again*

Well crud, I named a wav file intro, it's a short clip, put it in one of my layout folders (the one I'm using) and I get

12/8/2004 2:52:00 PM Error -2147467259 Automation error
Unspecified error  in SFX_Play

I know i DID have 8 on there,,,, maybe some other program wrote over it and installed an older copy...

Run dxdiag and check...

If that is OK make sure the file will play in Media Player.

odd, it plays in media player, I have version 8...

It's ok, I don't really care all that much about the effects now that I just run music in the background.

Still odd though.

I just checked and that error no. is the same which is returned if a bad file is used.  Whether that means DX doesn't like your wav file, or if it returns that error no. for different errors I am not sure...
