Title: Mamewah question
Post by: ddaniels on July 30, 2007, 10:52:45 am

I'm using the latest version of Mamewah in my cab running Windows XP.  I placed mamewah in the startup folder.  Is there any way to have the games start automatically without me having to move the joystick left then right to get around the ok prompts from each game?  Can mamewah also start the last played game automatically?  I used to use arcadeos and DOS and this front end did these features.  I really like Mamewah and was trying to figure out the answers to my questions?
Thanks

The Ok prompts are from MAME, not MAMEwah... go into your mame.ini file and make sure the skip_disclaimer and skip_gameinfo flags are set to "1".

I'm not sure if you can get MAMEwah to start a game automatically... seems like this would defeat the purpose.  However, if you are having trouble exiting MAMEwah and having it come up at the same point in your gamelist when you restart it, then you need to exit MAMEwah the "slow" way... press "2" then select "Exit MAMEwah", vs just pressing Esc...

Is there any way to show only horizontal games in Mamewah?  My current game list  shows all games.  Is there a simple way to filter out the vertical games?
Thanks

To add some more lists create some text files (mame-2.ini, mame-3.ini, eg mame-4.ini) in your MameWAH/config/mame folder.  Just copy and paste from your first list.  I use about 15.

Select the new lists by pressing P2 start and choosing "game list options".

To generate filtered lists, you need the latest (or most appropriate) catver.ini and mame.dat in your mame folder.  Make sure that you tell mamewah where they are by editing the mame.ini and adding the file paths.
