It seems everything is setup right. The emulater works fine out of mamewah, but when trying to open a game within mamewah this is the error I receive:
FCE Ultra Error
Error opening "=verifyroms"
Im using the latest version of mamewah and the nes emulater is fceu.
Here is my ini file, maybe its a setting in here?

Based on the INI file contents, it seems like you are using version "MameWah1.61", however, I noticed your INI file name is called "nintendo_162b10.ini" ..... so does this mean you think you are using version MameWah1.62b10 instead of the MameWah1.61 ?
Anyway, here is Jcrouse's INI file for FceUltra which I got fro mhis CPViewer site:
http://www.emuchrist.org/cpviewer/downloads/nintendo/nintendo_162b10.ini
You will notice it is recommended to use FceUltra as follows:
c:\fceu\fceu.exe {8.3[rompath]\[name].[romext]}{dosbox}{safelaunch}

I thought 1.61 is the latest version, I can't find anything more recent.
That ini is the same one i was trying to use, but when i start mamewah it changes all the settings to the following: (this is getting frustrating :banghead:)

MameWah is a good program but it can be very frustrating ..... I know .... I set up about 30+ emulators on it. Editing INI files by hand gets tedious, but once you do a few then you will learn what it takes.
I decided to switch to the MALA frontend to test it out and found it to be everything I wanted. Extremely easy and nice GUI. Anyway, I was able to setup all my emulators in about 20 minutes. As a result, I would recommend trying MALA to see if you think it is easier.
Although, if you want to stay with MameWah, then you can get the Beta version here:
http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/postlist.php?Cat=&Board=arcadeospc2jamma
Once the site opens, make sure the click the "-" button to collapse all the threads into a much more readable format. You will then see the thread regarding MameWah1.62b10 .......

does anyone have a working ini for mamewah 1.61? I get an error when trying to load the rom still, and i would like to stick with mamewah, I like it for mame and if i can get my other emulaters working that would be great.
-
Are all your NES roms zipped? The reason being is that your ini has the rom extension as NES. If it's zipped it should be ZIP instead.
I can't remember what the diff is between the ini versions but I have working 1.61 versions at home if you still need it when I get home.

No, they are .nes files. That would be cool if you could post your ini, i'm not sure what the problem is on mine :/
-
OK all you have to do is copy and past this over your old ini and you should be all set. By the way are you using the hacked version fceu?

Change {autodosbox} to either {nodosbox} or {dosbox}.

You are a genius 8way!!! Thank you a hundred times. Yes, I am running the hacked version. I think it was my commandline_format that was giving me the error. Now I'm gonna see if i can figure out how to use a different layout for the different emulators. Thanks again!
-
You realize I gave you that same format in the second post in this thread ........ but I am glad you finally figured out you needed to use it :P hehe.

I guess i just needed more clarity :banghead: Thanks for the help guys!
:cheers:
