Title: need help launching pc games from mamewah.
Post by: bossyman15 on August 15, 2007, 07:38:13 pm

i followed this wiki

http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Mamewah_Other_Apps

but i think this was for ver.1.61 not new 1.62

see the problem i have is when i create PC Pinbal.ini and run mamewah and try to change to PC pinball but mamewah exits and i can't start mamewah again (it just go black for a second and exit back to desktop) unless i delete PC Pinball folder from mamewah config folder.

here's my mamewah txt

to

You need to make a layout file with the layout designer, or make sure the default one is available.
