How do i use scanlines in MameWah i've been searching online and in the forums. I understand that i have to do something along the lines of :
mame -effect scanlines
but i have no idea what this means.

Just went through the same issue when I was setting up Mamewah.
In the your mame directory(Not mamewah) just edit the mame.ini and enter the words scanlines next to the option for effects.
Effects scanlines

nobody knows?

I know one thing...
You can't follow directions.
In the your mame directory(Not mamewah)
This means the program M.A.M.E., not the mame folder in mamewah.
-
since i extracted mame into my mamewah directroy there is only one mame.ini, i will start from scratch and do something different and see if i can figure it out.
-
Upon extracting mame to its own directory i see no file titled "mame.ini"
-
try running it first. It will make one.
-
i ran it and it said it cant find roms and it crated the cfg folder. inside of that folder is default.cfg and empty.cfg the documentation said to type "-createconfig /-cc" to create the mame.ini file but when do i type that, this is really confusing.
-
So there's no INI file of any sort in your root Mame folder?
-
there is no ini file anywhere
-
I'm not at home, so I don't have it in front of me to help.
What version / build of MAME are you running?
-
I am using .124a
-
just goto dos, goto your mame directory and type
mame -cc
and hit enter
that should create the mame.ini for you
-
Ok do to a sound problem i switched to fastmame 84 and it works wonderful. But here is the problem i have both a fastmame.ini and mame.ini i set both of them to scanlines 1 and it still didnt display scanlines. Yes there is the scanlines file in the artwork folder.
