strange crash with maewah and epsx

[nikfaulkner]

i'm just setting up my cab software and i'm having a strange problem with epsx and mamewah.

i've got it running with .bat files, i can generate a list of my psx games in mamewah. i can also run the games.

however when i quit out of the emulator, mamewah seems to hang.
all i get is a white screen.

i have noticed that if i turn on "show dos box" in mamewah, when the emulator quits i can then get back to mamewah by closing the dosbox useing my mouse.

this is a solution (but hardley cab friendly)

is this a known problem? would one of the command wrappers help me solve my problem?

thanks in advance for any help. if anyone here has epsx running with .bat files i'd be really interested in seeing your .bat files and configs

thanks for your reply dave,

your configs are preyty much identicle to mine,  still haveing the same problem

i have noticed if i ctrl,alt,delete and go and see what programs are running when the crash happens, there is somethin running called "winoldapp" if i end this task mamewah pops up again.

anybody know what this is? i've got a feeling it's epsx not closing down 100% and confusing issues.

woohoo fixed it  

it seems some systems have problems closing dos boxes under win9x so you have to go to the properties of the .bat file and tick the "close on exit" box. this forces windows to close the prompt when the .bat file is done.

simple when yo know how

Yeah that's a crucial one to know - I think it applies to XP too IIRC...
