Title: MAMEWAH System Files intsall help needed
Post by: bsoder52 on October 07, 2009, 04:23:57 pm

Looking to get MameWah up and running on my MAME Arcade cabinet again.
If i recall the System Files need to be installed via command line, and I have no memory on how I did it the first time.  I think I had to email minwah. 

Anyway, hoping someone on here can give me a quick walk through on what to do.

What I know so far is to download the file titled system.zip to my desktop, and well...thats about all i know.

Thanks in advance!!!

I thought it had an install.bat or setup.bat or something. Just run that from windows.

When you say run that from windows do you mean double click on it?

Setup is an MS DOS batch file.  So dont think it's windows???

hehe, it's warranted!
One more questions for ya. 
Which version of Mame is best with Mamewah?
Looks like mame0134s.exe  is the one I want, but not sure?
I'm @ the http://mamedev.org/release.html website.

Thanks again!

Any of them work fine with Mamewah, the question is:
Which version of MAME is best suited for your PC and do you have the matching romsets?
