I'm running mamewah as a shell (XP Home) and set the exit_and_run_app_commandlines to explorer.exe. When I exit to windows I get a blank screen, so I ctrl+alt+del, new, run, explorer and it takes me to the desktop. Is there something I'm missing or is there a better way? I also have backround music but it doesn't loop, once the song ends it stops. Is there any special command ({loop, repeat} ect.) and I would also like to add more songs with a random option. One more thing....is there a way to make multiple intro videos? I like the video I made but its starting to get too repetitive. OK, one last thing. I'm using juegos mamewah setup utility(good stuff) and having trouble viewing snaps/videos. I searched around the forums and double checked all my config files, but no luck. I know I'm asking alot, but can anyone help me please? Thanks. ???

Try this
exit_and_run_app_commandlines C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe

Make sure you have the xvid codec (http://www.digital-digest.com/software/download.php?sid=1052&ssid=0&did=1) installed.
And also the rom name and video name must be the same.

I got the videos to show up in mame, noob error, my file was video not videos, thanks. I'll try that C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe right now. Check the "pulling hair" thread for a different reply. Thanks pimp.

The windows fixed worked! ;D Still having problem with genesis snaps/video and the backround sound. If I add more than one song in the c:\juegos\musica folder no backround sound at all.
-
Like I said before. Your snaps and videos must have the same name as the roms. Also, are you placing them in the correct folder C:\juegos\Genesis\snaps and C:\juegos\Genesis\videos
-
Again, gonzo your right. The rom name didint match the video snap files. Going to be a long day sorting through the 800+ files :banghead: Can you help me out with my sound? Thanks again!
-
You don't have to do that manually. Just use "Generic Artwork Renamer". You point it to your rom and artwork folder and it will rename most of them so they match. Then use "Shot Reporter v1.0" to find out what snaps your missing.
After you do that you can edit your .ini file and enable fuzzy search by modifying this line from 0 to 1
enable_fuzzy_search 0This way it won't be so strict when looking for the games snapshot. If it finds a snapshot with a name that's close enought it will display it.
I'll have to think about the sound issue. ???
