MAMEWah resolution error
« on: December 30, 2003, 05:06:40 pm »
I'm running Mamewah version 0.962 and having a minor problem.  The first time I exit a game while using Mamewah, I get a Runtime error that says something like "A form cannot be resized or moved when minimized or maximized."  I then get kicked out to the desktop, where my resolution has been reset to 640x480 regardless of the resolution that I started out.  I can then restart Mamewah and play and exit games without errors.

I thought it must be a resolution compatibility problem, so I reset my desktop to 640x480, rebooted, and tried again, but got the same error.  I've tried running Mamewah in 256 color mode (I'm using WinXP, btw) but then some games won't play at all for some reason.

It's a small error, as all I need do is start a game in Mamewah, exit, and then restart Mamewah after the error, but I'd like to eliminate the problem if possible.  Any ideas?

TIA,
Jay

There is a new version of mamewah out (v0.963). You could try uninstalling your old version and installing the new one. You may want to backup your files folder first if you've various emulators configured then put them back once the new mamewah is installed. It may be worth deleting the mamewah cfg file then run it  and see if that cures it

Correct, I believe v0.963 fixes this problem :)
