Hi,
I have had help getting Mamewah running- now all is pretty good, obviusly it leads to some more questions- any help is appreciated.

1) I want to be able to "stretch" the games. In older FE's I have used the games would make up nearly ALL of the screen, however I cannot find a way in Mamewah to make this happen? How do I get the game images bigger?

2) If I want to rotate the Mamewah FE and the games- any way?

Cheers again
Wotto

2) If I want to rotate the Mamewah FE and the games- any way?

1) Use Windows Commandline MAME, do 'mame -cc' at a command prompt to create mame.ini, and then edit mame.ini.  Set 'hwstretch 1' to stretch the games.  Goto www.mameworld.net/easyemu for more help with Windows commandline mame.

2) To rotate the games, in mame.ini set 'rol 1' or 'ror 1'.  To rotate MAMEWAH you need to rotate your desktop using hardware (eg ATi Radeo) or software rotation (eg PivotPro), plus you need to make / download a vertical layout.

For a native vertical FE take a look at VertiWAH ;)
