Title: MameWah not launching Games
Post by: Ovalblue on July 07, 2005, 01:25:30 am

Maybe I am missing something but I set up Mamewah like the instructions said but when I select a game it launches a DOS window for 2-3 seconds like the game is getting ready to launch then comes right back to the Mamewah game menu.
Am I missing something?

Sounds like something (commandline_format) is not setup correctly in your emulator.ini file.  Either that or the rom(s) you tried are bad...

What emulator are you using and what is your commandline_format?

Emulator is MAME .96.

How do I know what commanline format I am using?
