Title: ZSNES/MAMEWAH
Post by: BUCKETHEAD on February 01, 2005, 04:08:01 pm

pointdablame,

Helped me a great deal on getting my ROMs/GAMES to show up in MAMEWAH.

So i guess this could be a HELP question for anyone out there?

My problem now is my roms won't load up in MAMEWAH

The loading screen stays up for like a second then disappears and nothing happens.


Once again here is my ZSNES  ini  files.

Do i have anything wrong?

Thanks for putting up with a newbie!

I had a similar problem with znesw. I believe that zsnesw won't run games from a zip file from the command line (which is how Mamewah does.)  All I did to fix it was unzip all my snes roms and change the rom_extention line in the ini to SMC.

Works like a champ for me.

Nope, ZSNES can launch zipped roms from a commandline fine (that's what I use).

You should turn autodosbox off: {dosbox} or {nodosbox}, and set {safelaunch}.

NEVER use {autodosbox} for anything other than MAME.

Thanks for proving me wrong, Minwah (and making the greatest front end EVER!!   ;D ;D ;D ) 

For some reason v1.35 of zsnesw would not unzip my roms from the commandline.  So I went out and got the latest 1.42 and that works fine.

I can't remember what version I use...v1.36 or 1.37 I think - maybe something was broken in v1.35 (?)
