Ok so i gave up on running the older Touhou games because i couldnt find a cab friendly PC-98 emulator. I downloaded some of the newer ones and i can get them to show up and run in mamewah, however i can not use the controls in the game. If i run the games normally they work, just not if i run them through mamewah. Any suggestions.
P.s. just remembered that if i run it in windowed mode it works fine, but if i start them in fullscreen mode it wont.
-
Are you running them using .lnk shortcuts?
-
Yes i made a seperate folder and put the short cuts for the 3 games in it. Each game launches fine, in full screen mode. But i can not do anything after that, i can not even quit the game and must manually restart the computer

have you tried to use bat files instead of calling the game directly some thing like this and let the shortcut point to that? Etc like this:
c:
cd c:\yourgame\
game.exe

I seriously have no idea what to do with the information that u just gave me..... :cry:

Right click in your MAMEWAH folder and create New Text Document. Rename the txt file to something like game.bat
Enter the info above, but for your file's location:
c: (or whatever your drive letter is where the game is)
cd c:\yourgame\ (cd means change directory, and change "yourgame" to the folder name where your game is)
game.exe (change this to the filename that starts your game)
Apparently not everyone grew up in the DOS era...

Ok then have mamewah use the file extention set to .bat instead... ok i wil try it later.

You shouldn't have to use bat files really...but it usually does work. However, the preferred method is using shortcuts...
Try adding {safelaunch} to your emulator_commandline, ie:
emulator_commandline pc{safelaunch}
I looked through the code and this should work, although I noticed a slight mistake which might prevent it from making any difference. If it doesn't work, let me know and I will compile a fixed version...
