Title: Mamewah and Gens
Post by: DreamWeb on May 01, 2005, 07:49:17 pm
Hey folks.  I have Mamewah working just fine with Gens and my ZIPPED genesis roms.

The problem is.. is that I want to add a SegaCD iso (with mp3s).  If I zip them up, Gens just brings me to the CD player and doesn't actually run the ISO.

So, I thought that I'd just write a .bat for the SegaCD iso and change my .ini from .zip to *.  Apparently there are some problems with the command line when you do this.. and Gens doesn't run any of the roms.

Suggestions?  Fixes?

I wish Mamewah supported multiple extensions!  Why doesn't it?

It does. From my 0000.ini
Code: [Select]
### 0000.ini (mamewah v1.61) ###

emulator_title                            M.A.M.E.

### List Generation Settings ###
rom_path                                  c:\mame\roms
rom_extension                             zip

Looking at Mamewah Config it can support zip, txt, lnk and iso extensions

Some of us use Fusion for 32x games but we conver the games to bin/cue format. It works great but takes up a lot of space.

You can technically have any extension you want since MAMEWAH (and MAMEWAH Config) just uses it for list generation.  The extensions in MAMEWAH Config are just just the most popular, and you can really just type in whatever you want.

Just FYI.

Hey guys... Sorry if I was unclear.

I know that you can use any extension you want in Mamewah (I use quite a few with the various emulators).

What I was trying to say was that a Zipped ISO + .mp3 with the Gens emulator doesn't work (although the regular genesis roms work)
