Title: MameWah run random game question
Post by: sac01 on September 07, 2007, 06:45:11 am

Ok, On an older version of mamewah I had the screen saver set up to the choose a random game, run it for xxx secs, quit and then run another and so on...when I updated to the newer version I've never been able to get it to work again.  I've set it up as it calls for in the config docs but it either dosn't work, or it rewrites the config file to go back to the "random screenshots" screensaver.  Not sure what I'm missing.  Anyone else have this function working and maybe can post their config txt?

thanks

Ok, I worked alittle more on this today (version 1.62)  and it appears that only screensaver types 'slideshow' and 'saver_commandline'  are valid choices???? anything else I choose forces mamewah to reright the .ini file and change it back to screensaver type  slideshow.

I want to either use 'run_random_game_and_quit' or 'run_random_game_using_wrapper'  Can anyone confirm if these options still work in v1.62.13??? Minwah? Anyone?

It's always been neat to walk by the arcade machine and a different random game is running, kinda miss this.
