Title: Mamewah165 won't recognize VBA in \config folder
Post by: edub on January 03, 2010, 11:07:47 pm

Hey everyone. I know I've done something stupid (like not turning on the "on" button). I have Mamewah v165 installed - just picked this front end and am trying to get Mame and VBA (Visual Boy Advance - M) working. Mame worked out of the box - just like advertised. I created an empty folder for VBA, let Mamewah create the two config files, then modified them as shown below. However, VBA does NOT show up in platforms or groups or anywhere in Mamewah. Can you help me understand what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

I'm either not following some obvious procedure or I have something named incorrectly or some other pilot error. The roms directory is correct and the path to VBA is correct also. The VBA emulator and roms work fine when manually invoked.

Thanks Zorro. Where is the "Mamewah Forum"? I guess if I knew where that was, I probably would have posted the question there instead. Sorry about that. And many thanks for responding - hopefully I can find it.   :)
