I'm trying to get MAMEWAH to work using an NES and SNES emulator and I'm having issues. I have gone through the .ini files and done that, but I guess something is missing. I can get the games list to genereate for both, however on the SNES when I load a game, a screen says "loading [game]" and then it goes away and nothing happens.
When I try it for NES, I get an error saying "rom not found" and the whole thing messes up. I'm not sure what I am missing here. I have postes my .ini for the SNES here:

Are you able to run the emulator without Mamewah? Also, what version of Mamewah are you running?
-
Yes, I have tested both emulators and ran the same game I was trying in Mamewah and it works perfectly. I am using Mamewah v. 1.61. I haven't tested out mame games yet because I don't have them on my laptop.
-
Try running Mamewah with the {nosafelaunch} switch.
Also, going forward - if you plan on using version 108 or newer of Mame, you will need to upgrade to Mamewah 1.62...

^ When I do that, nothing happens. It does not say loading or anything. Can anyone see if there is something wrong with my .ini file?
-
I downloaded the 1.62 beta and I can't figure out how to use that at all. It seems like it is totally different with the .ini files, and I can't find a read me or anything. I could really use some help over here, I know you guys know how to use this. I'm begging!
Edit: I have been messing around with it and I may have figured it out. We'll see.

Take a look here for JCrouse's useful ini files. If you get stuck it's best to ask at the Mamewah board (@ Mameworld).
