Will advmame work with mamewah
« on: September 22, 2003, 07:47:00 am »
I would like to use mamewah with my advmame setup and was wondering if these two can play together?  If so, how do you configure the first splash screen to display properly on the arcade monitor?  or does it display correctly by default?  thx

For MAMEWAH to work on an arcade monitor, you must be able to set the Windows desktop to a low res (ie <=640x288).  If your desktop cannot handle such a low resolution, then not will MAMEWAH.

I'm afraid my knowledge of arcade monitors + Windows is limited to the ArcadeVGA card, so I am not sure if what you are trying to do is possible  :-[  I *think* you would need to use software (PowerStrip?) to get MAMEWAH to work...

Ok--update, i got mamewah to show up on the arcade monitor with advmame and the rom list generated just fine.  However, when i run a game mamewah tells me that the particular game is not supported whereas if i run advmame on a command line it works just fine???  What additional setting would need to be included in the mamewah front end to let advmame do its thing?  I'm stumped.  Great front end--very slick!

I'm don't fully understand...MAMEWAH will never say that a game is not supported - is AdvMAME giving this message when run from MAMEWAH?  If so, it could be a setting in Emulator Settings > Execution Settings which is to blame.  Also, open DEBUG.LOG from the MAMEWAH folder to see if MAMEWAH is sending the correct commandline.

Glad you got it to work with your screen btw :)
