Title: Forgive me - MAMEWAH as Shell?
Post by: Odonadon on June 24, 2003, 12:29:34 pm

I have completely forgotten.  All this time with Win2k and XP, I can't remember how to change my shell.  How do I make Mamewah my shell instead of explorer in Win98?  :)

Oh, and will Mamewah actually run if I do this?

Edit:  system.ini, right?  I don't have access to any win9x machines at work, so I can't browse through like I'd like to :)

System.ini

Shell= (change from explorer.exe to mamewah.exe)

A ha, I was right.  cool.  Now, Mamewah should run fine without Explorer, right?  I guess I could get off my lazy ass and try it and see for myself...  :D  But Mamewah doesn't rely on explorer or anything weird like that, does it?  I seem to remember somebody saying something about GameLauncher having a problem like that, and you couldn't run it as the shell or something.

I have run the last version of MameWah (0.90) as my shell before but not the newest one (0.951B).  Wouldn't see why the new one wouldn't work also.

I haven't tried it, but yes, it should work fine :)

Tried, and confirmed.  It works, and works fine.  God bless you Minwah :)  You've made my week.
