Title: Can't Access Mamewah menu
Post by: bigjase on January 20, 2010, 01:45:51 am

I need to refresh a list in mamewah version 0.96, but when I hit "2" in the list to bring up the menu, nothing comes up. I've tried pretty much every other button and still can't get the menu up. What am I doing wrong?

For a start, you're using a very old version of MameWAH.

That shouldn't matter, should it? I should still be able to bring up a mamewah list, correct?

There are differences in the way config files work.

Make sure that your "2" button is actually working properly.

You want to find a mamewah.cfg somewhere I think. It might be in your "/mamewah/config" folder.

Thanks Zebidee. I'll check that when I get home.

I know I'm running an older verision of mame, but does that matter? I've haven't updated because I don't want to have anythign quit working that worked before.

<sigh> I made the comment because it is less realistic to expect support when using an older version of software. New versions usually bring in new bug fixes which may solve your problems without further fuss. And there have been changes to the way Mamewah config files work since v0.96 (or at least where they are located). I honestly don't know for your version.
