I formated my hard drive and didn't save my Mamewah folder, so I reinstalled it and everything works fine exept the artwork fields. #1 works but the other ones don't(I tried #2 to #5). I installed the system files and registered paintx.dll. Also in the layout the field emu name apears even if I disable it. I'll post my mame.ini file:

Thanks for reading.
-
are you sure you have the folder names right? because in my mame folder its not "marqees" and "snaps" . its "snap" and "marqee" .. just a thought.
-
Yeah the folders are named ok, when I put the marquees in artwork #1 they show but in the other fields noting shows.
-
Have you rechecked the actual layout to see that it it's using the other artwork fields? The default mamewah layout just uses the Artwork Image #1 only. Perhaps the layout.lay file you created isn't the layout being used when you run mamewah.
### Misc Options ###
layout Classic 800x600

I tried with a layout I downloaded and it had artwork1 and 2 and I tried creating one and it has the same problem. I really don't know what is the problem...
On another note a cool feature for mamewah would be adding a Current Song for the fields you can add in the layout designer.
-
I'm not sure, but since the Artwork #1 displays you obviously have all the system files installed OK.
All I can think of is what has already been suggested: check your layout has the correct artwork object #'s, and check the paths are correct :-\
-
I can say I triple checked, tried to put them in low case and uper case and tried every artwork field and only #1 show up. Can the other fields display .png files?

Yes.
Have you looked in mamewah.log to see if there is any indication there of what might be wrong?
-
I checked and I don't think there is a problem but i'll post a link to my mamewah.log:
http://rotdteam.sourceforge.net/mamewah.log I remember I had a similar problem for version 0.97 but never tried to fix it.

Looks fine...
Strange but no-one else has mentioned the problem so it must be a configuration problem somewhere.
I suppose you could try the new beta version (from the Mamewah board) but to be honest it shouldn't make a lot of difference.
-
Yeah I'll try the beta and see what happens.
