MameWah Issues
« on: February 28, 2004, 12:36:10 pm »
I'm trying to get Mamewah working and I have a couple of questions.  First, let me ask if there is a good faq site for it.  I have already checked out the main site and found a decent tutorial on screenshotarchive.com.  

My main problem, before I do more  research (I don't want to get flamed) is that I have a list in the main Mamewah screen that has 2600+ games.  I have to scroll down to pick the games I want to play and this takes forever.  I wanted to see how long it would take and after 5 minutes I was still in the E's.    Is there a way to browse the games faster?

The player 2 joystick advances the list faster than player one's.  I think that down/up advances the list 500 and left/right advances it 100.

Another option is to hit random until you are closer to your destination :)

Or have a crack at making some custom game lists - like your favourites, or even use the game info to split it by type of game (sports sim etc...)

Just a thought. I guess it is kinda impressive when folks see this ridiculous list of games that are available and begging for attention.... 8)

up/down => one game at a time
left/right => one page at a time

also the speed at which you can scroll the list depends on how fast mamwah can refresh the screen, so if you turn sound off and don't have 4 pieces of artwork on the screen per game it will scroll faster.
