Title: Strange Mamewah Crash
Post by: gsoul on November 28, 2005, 05:35:52 pm
Hey guys,

Been loving MameWha, see the thread here (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=46269)

I'm having a strange issue. I've set it up as the shell for Windows XP, I've set it up to play my MK movie intro, then when the theme starts up, it starts playing one of the tracks from MK3. Looks and sounds great, however after I go into and come out of a couple of games, it crashes in a bizarre way.

Basically the sound starts, and whenever I move or press a button, the soundclip restarts and I can't move any where, it just gets stuck in this continuous loop until I restart it. It like the program is still alive, but any keyboard action seems to be controlling restarting the sound clip rather than moving in the GUI. Can't explain it any better than that one.

I'm also having the issue where the INI seems to revert to its original state after this. I've read a few people discussing this one.

Anyone else had this problem? Miniwah, any advice?

I did not understand your problem completely.


Are you a biggenner to mamewah?
Which version of mamewah you are using?

What i am guessing is a Layout problem.

Make sure that you have set mamewah's layout settings as similar with your desktop settings.

for eg:
                      Desktop             Mamewah

resolution=    800x600            800x600
color depth=  32 bit                 32 bit
refresh rate= 60 Hz                 60 Hz

I have no idea really, never heard of this problem before.  Check you don't have rewind & fast-forward mapped to the same keys as your navigation keys in the ctrlr file tho.

Latest version of MameWah

v1.61 or v1.62b9?
