Change the shell value to your mamewah executable..
You can also do this for CURRENT_USER

It sounds like the focus issue is probably what I'm seeing. I actually use a TweakUI setting to give focus to whatever the mouse is sitting on top of (this is like most UNIX GUIs which I actually use more frequently than Windows @ work). I'll try messing with that too, maybe it somehow is keeping MW from getting keyboard focus at startup.

Did anyone ever figure out the problem here? My friend actually has the same exact problem. He's using MAMEWAH 1.61.
I tried clicking on MAMEWAH, I tried using the task manager to switch focus. I tried resetting my mamewah.ini and re-downloaded mamewah 1.61. MAMEWAH definitely had focus, but just wasn't responding to any of my keyboards or ipac (I tried a ps/2 and usb keyboard).
I did some testing but couldn't get it narrowed down exactly.
He had MAMEWAH set to boot as the Windows Shell. That didn't work.
I set windows to boot up and put MAMEWAH in the Startup menu. Same problem.
I set windows to boot up and then manually launched MAMEWAH. Still didn't work.
It seemed that the first time I ran MAMEWAH, on my friend's machine, the keyboard was always locked. If I force kill MAMEWAH and then run it again it seemed to respond to keyboard/ipac input.
So... I wrote a batch file that looked (somewhat like this):
--- Code: ---WAIT 10 seconds
start c:\mamewah\mamewah.exe
WAIT 10 seconds
taskkill \IM mamewah.exe
mamewah.exe
--- End code ---
Even this didn't seem to work. The script itself runs flawlessly, but MAMEWAH still didn't receive key inputs. :( At this point I wasn't sure what to do - so I switched to Mala. ;) I swear that's not a threat. ;) I still use MAMEWAH at home.
Anyone figure this out? The only odd thing in the mamewah.log is a line that says decimal figure found "." - or something like that.
