lol, great answer.  Could it be set up in the new mamewah to have this be a list in the mame section?  Similar to favorites, shooters, pinball, etc............?  Minwah, JCrouse, anyone?

It shouldn't work within the mame section of mamewah, unless you're passing to some ipc file that can discern the difference between mame roms and Vpinball tables. If you have a list within the mame section, it is going to use mamewah's mame ini files that you configured.  You could easily have another page with mamewah just for vpinball stuff, though.

If you REALLLY wanted to, you could do something with ipc files in mamewah (maybe) but I don't think it would be worth it... just use other pages.

Is your answer considering the new mamewah 1.62?  The only reason I am asking is because I thought in the new version you could add in something like that.  But that is a total guess.

Since it's beta, I haven't tried it yet... so I can't tell you.
