MAMEWAH v0.962 Released!

[Minwah]

Here's whats new:

MAMEWAH v0.962 (09/10/03)

Bugs Fixed:

MAMEWAH would sometimes be restricted to a small box in the top-left corner after playing a game (or 2) (fixed),
PC Application list generation would not work (fixed),
Clones may not launch if within merged romset(s) (fixed),
Music did not stop playing when .SCR screen-saver launched (fixed),
Emulators with 'long' paths may not work (fixed),
Image filenames with extension '.jpeg' would not work (fixed).

Improvements (/Changes):

Added 'Correct M.A.M.E.'s Orientations' option,
Color Depth & Refresh Rate can be specified by layout,
Altered input system to improve operation with encoder using key-repeat (or keyboard) - most noticable in menu lock,
Improved speed of launching games (slowed down slightly in v0.96),
Added auto-fix of MAME -listfull's incorrect (bugged) game descriptions beginning with '(text)' (eg '(Status) Triv Two'),
Removed auto-deletion of old .CFG files (attempt to stop .CFG file corruption),
'Classic 640x480' layout is now used even if .LAY file is not available.

Also, the Layout Designer is slightly updated (to allow for color depth & refresh rate settings), and I have added some stuff to the readme about PC app's and IPAC reprogramming...

Hi Minwah,

Thanks for a great FE! Having a bit of trouble updating though...

First, am I correct in assuming that I just need to copy over the executable? That's what I've done, and I am getting the following error:

Run-time error '13' Type mismatch

Previously, I had installed the "full" .954b then upgraded to .96 from that, which was working fine. I'm running Win 98.

Any ideas?

Delete the old mamewah config file (mamewah.cfg).

Perfect! Thanks kujina.
