I checked the forums and did not find an answer, So here goes the question.
I have kenga fusion up and running in mamewah where the game loads and exits just fine.
Now I don't get picture or sound, but the FPS is running the corner so I know it brought up fusion.
I am trying to figure out if it's the INI or a setting missing in fusion.
here's my ini:
### 08segag.ini (mamewah v1.61) ###
emulator_title SEGA GENESIS
### List Generation Settings ###
rom_path c:\segag\roms
rom_extension gen
dat_file
nms_file
catver_ini_file
list_generation_method rom_folder
### Execution Settings ###
emulator_executable c:\segag\fusion.exe
commandline_format c:\segag\fusion.exe "[rompath]\[name].[romext]" -gen -fullscreen{nodosbox}{nosafelaunch}{8.3[rompath]\[name].[romext]}{nodosbox}{nosafelaunch}
alt_commandline_format_1 [name]
alt_commandline_format_2 [name]
game_specific_config_path
### Artwork Locations ###
artwork_1_image_path c:\segag\screenshot
artwork_2_image_path c:\segag\controller
artwork_3_image_path
artwork_4_image_path
artwork_5_image_path
artwork_6_image_path
artwork_7_image_path
artwork_8_image_path
artwork_9_image_path
artwork_10_image_path
movie_preview_path
movie_artwork_no 1

Your emulator commandline needs to look like this:
c:\fusion\fusion.exe "[rompath]\[name].[romext]" -gen -fullscreen{nodosbox}{nosafelaunch}
Yours seems to be parts of two pieced together.

Thanks so much for the reply :)
However, it still did not fix the problem so it has to be a setting in fusion.
I'll start diggin..
No luck on settings inside fusion. The only thing I can think of is it may be a resolution issue?
-
Does it work OK when opening a game within Fusion (ie not via Mamewah)?
You could try using {safelaunch}, *if* this only happens when launching from Mamewah...
-
Thanks for the reply minwah :)
Yea it works just fine if I run Fusion by itself. Only when it runs through mamewah.

In that case:

c:\fusion\fusion.exe "[rompath]\[name].[romext]" -gen -fullscreen{nodosbox}{safelaunch}
I ran it with safe launch and I'm still getting the issue. It runs just fine when I play fusion itself. Any other ideas? :D (this is so stupid )

This needs to be some minor oversight. MANY people use Fusion with MameWAH and I have never seen an issue. Post your ini file again and also a clean Mamewah.log file.

I have a feeling that it might be the "- gen" area of the INI. Reason being the software loads just fine in mamewah but the game won't load. Options while in fusion work as well (region, hard reset....etc) so I know that the software is not locked up.

OK. You are using 1.61. I think your problem is that you have duplicated the executable. You specify it as both the "emulator_executable" and again ont the "commandline_format" line. This is wrong. I forget what is right but know that is incorrect. Set yout "emulator_execitable to whatever the path to fusion.exe is. Something like so:
emulator_executable c:\fusion\fusion.exe
and your "commandline_format to this:
"[rompath]\[name].[romext]" -gen -fullscreen{nodosbox}{safelaunch}
I think that will do it.
Let us know,

So you know, in 1.61, it takes the "commandline_format" and appends it to the end of the "emulator_executable". This builds a string that is sent to mamewah. Yours currently looks like so:
c:\segag\fusion.exe c:\fusion\fusion.exe "[rompath]\[name].[romext]" -gen -fullscreen{nodosbox}{safelaunch}
That is why I replied as I did above. I could see the double executable. You need to remove the "c:\fusion\fusion.exe" (without the quotes) from the "commandline_format" entry just leaving the rest. I would also change {safelaunch} to {nosafelaunch} and try that.

That was it. Simple, stupid on my part, and like they say live and learn.
I can not thank you enough for taking the time to help. I truly appreciate it and all the work you put into this forum.
Thank you so much! ;D
