Title: Mamewah163/Mame103b help
Post by: FLAPS on October 30, 2008, 02:36:20 pm

I'm pretty sure this has been asked before but I couldn't find an answer using the forum search so I'll have to put on my dunce hat and ask. I've just starting putting together a new frontend for a cab I'm doing, haven't done one in a while so that's my excuse, and I can't seem to get Mame to work. Mamewah runs it as the DOS box comes up but then it turns to a pop up about how it should be run from a command prompt. I'm assuming I've done something wrong in the mame config but I'd played around and can't work it out so here's what I've got it set to and thanks to anyone who can point out my mistake.

Your emulator commandline is the problem.
After mame.exe, you should have [name] and then {nodosbox} and either {safelaunch} or {nosafelaunch}
The path to your rom folder should not be included here.
