Title: Mamewah step by step please ?
Post by: JamieDeb on July 16, 2003, 11:38:21 am
I just downloaded "Mamewah v0.95b"
Then unzipped "mame071b_i686.zip" to "C:\EMULATOR\Mame71" directory.
The roms are in the "rom" folder, same directory.
The snaps are in the "snap" folder, same directory.

I have edited the "EMU1.CFG" like this:

------------------------
Emulator Executable = C:\EMULATOR\Mame71\mamepp.exe
Default Options =
Extra Options #1 =
Extra Options #2 =
Show DOS Box = 0
Send ROM Path = False
Use Long Filenames = True
Send ROM Extension = False
DAT Filename =
NMS Filename =
CatVer Filename =
ROM Path =
ROM Extension = ZIP
List Generation Method = 2
-------------------------


...but nothing displayed...what am I missing please (except from intelligence perhaps ?)

Thnaks a lot,

Not flaming you here, but please take about 5 minutes and read the accompanying readme that comes with the program.....  I set this up yesterday for the first time, had a little bit of trouble, and lo and behold upon reading further it tells you how to set it up.  Within 15 minutes I had it set up, with a new skin even.

Just looking at your file, you have no path to your roms, dat, or catver for starters....

You're right about reading the manual...but from the read me file it's said:

'ROM Path' :  specifies the location for the emulators ROM's (used when refreshing games list / running game).
(NON-M.A.M.E. ONLY)

So is it necessary for Mame (NON-M.A.M.E. ONLY) ?

This is one part where the readme is out of date, sorry.  You now have to state the ROM path for all emulators, since I treat all the same now.

Add the ROM path and you should be all set.  Use Long Filenames could be set to False too, but I don't think it matters in this case.
