1) Are you using the latest version of MAME?
2) Do you have an up-to-date MAME.DAT file in your Mame directory?
    If not, run the following from the command line in your MAME directory:
              -mame -listxml|xml2info > mame.dat
3) I would change List Generation Method to "2" for Rom Folder Vs DAT File

4) If these are right, then refresh your games list within MameWah by hitting  2-arrow down-1-1  (assumes you are displaying your Main List)

Hope this helps

didnt do a thing....used that command to make a new dat file (its 16.2 megs)

Is your folder actually named "Mamewah.exe" and "Mame.exe"?

If so, delete the ".exe" from the folder names.

did you refresh your games list from within mamewah? Games won't show up until you refresh them.

Oh no thats the location plus the file....Should I only have the location of the files?

If you're running Win98, try the workaround here: http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Number=740&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1

I have XP.

I have XP.

Feck, never heard of that before    All I can suggest is delete your \mamewah\files folder and start again.

Also (not 100% sure) if your mamewah folder is g:\mamewah.exe\ change to g:\mamewah\ as suggested...

the folder is G: .... so mamewah.exe (the program) is just it the root G: folder.

Oh right, try installing it to a folder then, eg g:\mamewah\ - maybe it doesn't like being in the root (never tried it myself).

[itismejs]

tried it non root....still didnt work.........

Haven't got a clue then  Hopefully my next release's new config system will fix it - give that a try
