Title: problem launching mame from mamewah with a batch file
Post by: vibez on April 23, 2005, 02:25:23 pm

If I launch mame from mamewah dirctly (pointing to mame.exe) It reads the mame.ini & applies the settings just fine for the custom resolutions I have set up. But If use this batch, it ignores the custom resolutions settings. This batch should cause mame to read the config as before.

c:\mame\mame.exe d:\roms\%1 -rc

I cant understand what is wrong

EDIT::

please delete.

I had to change the bat to do this

Cd \
cd mame
mame.exe d:\roms\%1

apparently it doesnt pick up the switches if you run mame with a path infront of it

It picks up the switches, but it can't find the configuration files in the directory you're running "c:\mame\mame.exe" from.  That's why it works when you "cd mame" first.

thanks I wondered why it did that.
