MAMEWAH error: "does not exist in LaunchApplication"

[sprtm]

Hi all,

I have just started to play around with MAMEWAH. I Have sucessfully setup my emulators; mame, zsnes, virtuanes and gensfe but I encounter a problem when setting up a PC game.

I have created a folder in C:\Program Files\Games, where I put one game and one app just to test:

Pro Pinball - Timeshock!
VPinball

I have followed the instructions and put shortcuts of the games in the folder, not the actual games. This is how the .ini looks:

Code: [Select]

### propinball.ini (mamewah v1.65) ###

emulator_title                            Pro Pinball

### List Generation Settings ###
rom_path                                  C:\Program Files\Games
rom_extension                             lnk

nms_file                                  
catver_ini_file                          
list_generation_method                    rom_folder

### Execution Settings ###

### Additional Settings ###
music_path                                
lcd_display_file_path                    
description_display                       [description]{scroll}

### Settings used by MAMEWAH ###
current_list                              0
The list generates fine and VPinball launches without any problems. But when I try to launch Pro Pinball nothing happens and the log file reads "...does not exist in LaunchApplication". I should say that i'm normally on a Mac so I'm not that familiar with how everything works under Win... but something that is pecial with Pro Pinball is that it's not a regular .exe, instead it's run via DOSBOX, can that be the issue?

If I check the properties of the Pro Pinball shortcut I can see that from Win the game is launched with the following command:

Code: [Select]

"C:\Program Files\GOG.com\Pro Pinball - Timeshock\DOSBOX\dosbox.exe" -conf dosboxTimeshock.conf -noconsole -c "exit"
I have tried to add DOSBOX without any extra command line in MAMEWAH, but that results in the same error.

Can anyone help on how I should setup MAMEWAH to launch Pro Pinball?



Here's the full log:

EDIT: I just moved the game all the way up to C:\ and now at least it launches in MAMEWAH, but it's just a DOSBOX window + a DOS window, the game won't start. Maybe the pre-set commands has to be tweaked to get it running, but as I said I'm normally on a Mac so....

Any ideas?

Thanks.
