Anyone still in love with Mamewah?

[mcseforsale]

I run primarily older machines like P4 3GHz, Celeron 2.6GHz because they're free usually for me and they seem to never die.  I'm still building cabs around Mamewah 1.63 and love it for it's simple complexity.

So, anyone else still sticking by Mamewah?

p3 1ghz 1gb ram on a 4gb CF card as a boot drive with mame .106 with no nag screens, fusion, zsnes and many other emulators still running on mamewah. My only gripe is that it has no favorites feature.

I am also still using Mamewah. It is a perfectly balanced frontend. Simple to configure, nice themes and fluid navigation.

My only wish right now would be the option to use the new MP4 videos that are out.   

Thanks Minwah.

I think he released a new version in the last couple months.

Actually it does have favorites. The only problem is that it's per emulator.
So for mame you would:
1. Mamewah/Config/mame
2. Create a new file named mame-1.ini
3. Launch Mamewah and go to your Mame List
4. Exit Mamewah.

After exiting Open mame-1.ini with notepad. You should see something like this:

Code: [Select]

### mame-1.ini (mamewah v1.62) ###

list_title                                Favorites

### Games List Settings ###
cycle_list                                1
list_type                                 normal
display_clone_info                        0
max_favorites                             0

### Execution Settings ###
pre_emulator_app_commandlines             
emulator_commandline                     
post_emulator_app_commandlines           

### Settings used by MAMEWAH ###
current_game                              16

You can rename the list_title to whatever you want.
Now go back into Mamewah> Mame> Select a game you would like to add to your favorites> press 2>
Add Game to Game list> Select Favorites or whatever name you put down on list_title.

I'm still using 1.62 as well. i basically found a preinstall package online and just added my own console themes, roms and screenshots to it. 

Thanks for the favorites tip. I'm really going to have to give that a try soon!

[Minwah]

I still use it

I still use it 

Sure hope so lol

Would like to take this time to thank you for making such a great and easy to use frontend. It is BY FAR my favorite and most used front end.

[mcseforsale]

+1.  I think the beauty of it is it runs on almost anything.  I think Hyperspin is neato, but I don't want to drop 5 hundred bux on a PC just to run the front end.

So, any recommendations on Jukebox software to integrate into Mamewah?  Is there such a thing...besides the randomized song thing it comes with?

I've always used SKJukebox with Mamewah since you can customize the keyboard shortcuts to be Cabinet friendly.

[mcseforsale]

Will it run on an old P4?

AJ

[gonzo90017]

It's more then enough. I use it on a 500mhz Celeron with 256mb.
Here is a download link for the last version.

[mcseforsale]

I have it running on my dual core on the kitchen table.  Seems pretty cool.

I guess the question is do you just run it like an emu?

AJ

[gonzo90017]

I run it as a pc application. Just create a shortcut of SKJukebox. Point the rom path to it and:

Code: [Select]

rom_extension                             lnk

Code: [Select]

emulator_commandline                      PC{dosbox}{safelaunch}
