Title: can't get mamewah to generate list for daphne. Update: FIXED!!!!
Post by: lordtodd75 on March 14, 2007, 03:44:55 pm

I am running mamewah v1.62b13 and daphne 1.0 and I cannot get mamewah to generate a list of games. Here is my daphne.ini file:

### daphne.ini (mamewah v1.62) ###

emulator_title                            Daphne

### List Generation Settings ###
rom_path                                  c:\daphne\framefile
rom_extension                             txt
dat_file                                 
nms_file                                  c:\daphne\daphne.nms
catver_ini_file                           
list_generation_method                    rom_folder

### Execution Settings ###
pre_emulator_app_commandlines             
emulator_commandline                      c:\daphne\daphne.exe [name] vldp -framefile "C:\daphne\framefile\[name].txt" -fullscreen{nodosbox}{nosafelaunch}
post_emulator_app_commandlines           
general_app_commandlines                 

### Artwork Settings ###
artwork_image_paths                       
movie_preview_path                       
movie_artwork_no                          1
enable_fuzzy_search                       0
history_dat_file                          auto
history_dat_artwork_no                    2

### Screen-Saver Settings ###
enable_music_in_screensaver               0
select_random_game                        0
saver_type                               
movie_path                               
movie_fullscreen                          1
quit_delay                                30
saver_commandline                         

### Additional Settings ###
music_path                               
lcd_display_file_path                     
description_display                       [description]{scroll}

### Settings used by MAMEWAH ###
current_list                              0

I had this running before with older versions of mamewah and
daphne. All of the paths are absolutely correct. Any suggestions?

I found the answer I needed in the mameworld forums. Since nobody answered my post I am assuming nobody ran into this problem. There is a glitch in mamewah v1.62b13 that prevents you from generating a list for non mame emulators. Here is the post at the mameworld forums if you want to read it: http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Number=99454&page=0&view=expanded&sb=5&o=&fpart=1&vc=1

I also attached the mamewah v1.62b13a executable that fixes the problem. You only need to overwrite your old mamewah executable with this and you will be able to generate a list.
