I have my desktop set to 640 x 480 and also have mame set to run at 640 x 480. I'm using a 640 x 480 layout on mamewah. When I start mamewah I get a screen flicker (as if resolution has just changed). I don't get the flick when starting a game under mamewah but when I exit a game and also when I exit mamewah I get a screen flicker. It seems as if the screen resolution is changing. Any way to fix this? Since everything is set to 640 x 480 why is this happening?

Since you set it to 640 x 480, I would say the screen flicker is caused by the refresh rate. Sorry, I'm not a Mamewah user, but I'm sure there is a setting in there to change it. If it is a computer monitor you are using, then I would recommend setting it to at least 60 Hz. If not, then match it to your monitor (arcade?) - 15, 25 or 31 Hz...

Fixed it:) It was the color depth

Great work! Just as an FYI, what was it set to, and what did you have to change it to? Also, what kind of monitor are you using?

I'm using a 27" TV. Didn't realize you had to set the layout to 32 bit color (it was 16 bit by default). That seemed to be the culprit. Just having a sound issue now in Mortal Kombat 2 (sound never seems to stay at full volume. I'll address this in another board.
