I am currently setting up my cousin in laws computer again after it crashed. I have got all the emulators working (ePSXe, zsnes, fceu, and gba, for example), including powermame. I cannot get project64 (Nintendo 64 emulator) working within mamewah. I need problem solving advice. I have the following done:
I copied my entire project64 folder from my cabinet and mamewah 1.62 config file over. I have project64 running fine on its own, but it will not start within mamewah. I have double, triple, and quadruple checked the paths, as the previews, screenshots, and boxscans are working. I know there are problems with {nodosbox}{safelaunch} settings, but I researched and that is what is suggested and that is what is working on my cabinet. I have regenerated the game lists everytime, and I'm stumped.
Could this be the problem:
I copied the project64wrapper straight from my cabinet onto the new computer. I believe that has to be the problem. I checked the wrapper cfg. file and the two paths are correct. Does it have to be downloaded fresh or something? I'm lost as to what to try. I can't find that wrapper on the internets and I'm not sure what else to try. Any suggestions? :banghead:

I don't think you need a wrapper for Project 64 (although I'm not a MameWah user). But there is an option in Project 64 you may have to set. Go into settings->Options tab and make sure there is a tick next to "On loading a ROM go to full screen".

I'll give that a shot. Thanks! :cheers:

I already had that checked. I'm stumped. I have the exact same setup in my cabinet and it works fine. I've checked and checked and checked and I don't see one thing that is different between the two. :banghead:

First off, Project 64. I believe it has an install rountine and needs to be downloaded and the "Installed". I am not sure what goes on behind the scenes with registry entries and what not.
Next, the Wrapper. Are you using mine? If so I can get you another copy if you email me. Do you have the .Net framework installed? Why do you need the wrapper?
Lastly, I have seen different systems require different MameWAH settings for {dosbox}/{nodosbox} and/or {safelaunch}/{nosafelaunch}
Good Luck,
John

Thanks for the reply John,
1. I did a fresh download and install and P64 does work fine on its own.
2. I don't know why I am using the wrapper. All I know is that it is working on my cabinet with it. Why fix it if it ain't broke?(Nice in theory anyways)
3. I have exhausted all scenarios. I don't know what else to do, as this isn't my first rodeo. I can't think of a single thing that would keep it from working in mamewah.
Thanks again fellas and have a good thanksgiving! :cheers:
