snapshots in mamewah not showing
« on: July 07, 2004, 12:55:32 pm »
I recently switched to a new pc for my cabinet and am having some problems getting mamewah to function correctly.

I reinstalled it from scratch and initially could not get the rom list to generate. I have figured that problem out due to the other threads. However now I cannot seem to get the snap shots to display correctly.  The path to the snaps are correct and it works fine on my other pc using an older version of mamewah with the same settings.

Any ideas? I am at work now but will be working on it when I get home.

Thanks,
Jesse

Did you install it or copy it from another machine?  Check that you have PaintX.dll in your system folder, then try running:

regsvr32 paintx.dll

To make sure it is registered properly...

Thanks minwah,

I will try it tonight. Did not get a chance to play with it last night.  I do have a question for you though. Does mamewah support multiple rom paths for a single emulator? I have 2 hd's that I am using right now since they are both small and have the .81 romset split over them.

Thanks,
Jesse

Kindof...

You cannot actually enter >1 ROM Path, but for MAME, if you pick the 'Verifysets vs Listinfo' List Generation Method, it will pick up all of your roms, as long as you have your rom paths entered correctly in mame.ini.

So in this case, yes it should work fine :)

Did you ever manage to fix this?

I am running into the same problem.. I have a new install of .84, and I have all .png files (extracted from the snap.zip  file) in c:\games\mame\snap and the ROM path point there under artwork, but MAMEWAH doesn't seem to pick any up at all...

Help!

Thanks in advance,

Matt
