Here's what I do and it works for me.  Put the .lay files and all your other files for the skin (not artwork) in the same directory. It doesn't matter.  I'm using \Mamewah\Skins

Then edit the main Mamewah.cfg file to tell it where the .lay file is. That should do it.

Also you have to tell the emu.cfg where the artwork is.

It doesn't matter where you put the .LAY file, so long as you point to it in MAMEWAH.  BUT, the .LAY file will contain the exact path of the images (maybe made on someone elses PC), so you need to edit the .LAY file and adjust this to your image path (do not alter anything else).

Where's this skin stuzza made, did I miss it?

Syxx: I don't know at the moment, but if anyone wants to send me their layouts, I'll bung a page up on my site for them :)

• Select the

Great skin stuzza! :)

I will try and improve MAMEWAH so you do not need to change the image paths etc., which is a bit of a pain atm...
