Title: MameWah and other emulators...questions
Post by: Wyluli on February 24, 2005, 07:52:09 pm

I have Mame and NES working with MameWah.  I'm working on SNES and Commodore and have a few questions.  Namely, how do you guys go about exiting from the SNES emulator and Commodore emulator and return to the MameWAH list screen?

I'm using Zsnes and when I hit ESC it brings up the menu in the emulator instead of exiting back to MameWah.

Also, not all my Commodore games are showing up.  Only about 100 are showing up in the MameWAH list.  I have the rom_Extension set to just * because there are different extensions (e.g. t64, d64 etc..) is this causing a problem?

Thanks.

Use the modiefied ZSNES emulator from www.screenshotarchive.com   It has the ESC key hacked in along with others.

As for commodore....I'm still working on that myself.

Hi,

Please can anyone tell me how I can run mamewah to automatically launch with a rom/game when it's loaded instead of having to select it first from the menu.

Basically I would like to power up the machine into my fav ROM and then escape back to menu if I wanted to switch to another ?

Is it possible, perhaps a command line switch of some kind ?

Any help would be most appreciated.

Theres probably a number of ways to do this but why don't you just create a batch file in your startup folder that runs your game in mame  then when you exit it calls mamewah? eg:

c:\mame.exe pacman
wait
c:\mamewah\mamewah.exe

Important that this is not the correct syntax etc...just an idea

Cheerz Brad,

I think that may just work,
even without the wait/pause option inbetween


STARTUP BATCH FILE:
mame.exe <switches> <gamename>
pause (requires a button press)
mamewah.exe

Will try this tonight
