Title: Question on Mamewah + Jukebox player
Post by: pacman on June 30, 2005, 09:13:56 am

I am using Mamewah on my cab and would like also to use the Arcade Music Box player. AMB will be launched from Mamewah as an external application but then once I want to go back in Mamewah how do I do ? If I quit AMB I will get to the XP desktop instead of Mamewah. Is there a bat file to create ?   ??? ???

Exit AMB and control is returned back to Mamewah.  Nothing special to do, as far as I remember.

yep, Zaphod has right (hey Zaphod, great to seeing you).

It autoresume resume to mamewah, when quitting. You may need to use the safe feature when running, if it got problems to get back to Mamewah...

But, Pacman, please test this:

 - Do mamewah quit auto, when AMB and mamewah use the same quit key?
 - Do it return to mamewah, if you have used a another quit key in amb (quit, using control panel is a safe way)?

Maybe I forgot to wait a keyrelease when quiting in v2.03 (Mamewah should doing that too, not all emalators may doing that)?

I have tried 2 different settings :

- the first one in the mamewah ini where I set up AMB as an application to be launched after quitting mamewah
Result: AMB is launched from the mamewah selection menu but when I quit AMB, XP just rolls me back on the desktop...

- Second one in the Mame ini file where I set up the external application to be launched (only the executable, I did not set up the comandline format) and I got an error message when launching AMB... ??? ::)
