Change the 'Layout Name' (within Misc Options)...

You must enter a valid layout tho - for full details on how the layout system works read Layouts.txt (in your \MAMEWAH folder).

You need to download the classic layouts package for some more layouts.

Get it here:

http://mamewah.mameworld.net/downloads/layouts.zip

Unzip it into your mamewah folder.

Otherwise, make your own layout and use that.  You can point the layout dir in the mamewah config to anywhere...it does not have to be c:\mamewah\layouts\

That's OK, just create the \layouts folder within your MAMEWAH folder.  By default MW uses an in-built layout so doesn't actually NEED the layout folder, but to use other layouts you MUST have the \layouts folder...

TalkingOctopus:  Actually the layouts folder MUST reside within the MW installation folder. eg if MW is installed to c:\mamewah, you must have the layouts folder at c:\mamewah\layouts.  The config file does not include full path for the layout name - the layout name is actually just a sub-folder of \mamewah\layouts.

Hope that helps :)
