Title: Convert MameWah 1.61 layout to work with 1.62 beta
Post by: electricd on February 07, 2006, 11:57:23 am: Hello,

I just downloaded and mostly configured the new MameWah 1.62 beta (to fix some issues I am having with 1.61) Anyway, I have a layout that I use with MameWah that I would like to continue to use with the new version. What do I need to do so that it still works with the artwork. I am using marquees, flyers, and cabinets on my layout. Would anyone be willing to take a look at my .lay file and possibly fix it for me? Thanks in advance!

I haven't actually made the jump from 1.61 yet but happy to take a look and figure it out if you're really stuck.

Post by: electricd on February 07, 2006, 03:14:54 pm: I had the artwork named incorrectly, and had to add the 3rd artwork name to my ini file. They are one long string separated by ; now instead of individual lines in the ini.

electricd: could you please post beta-related questions at the Mamewah board - it makes things easier and I'm more likely to see it there.
