Some questions about the new MAMEwah v1.5
« on: September 18, 2004, 05:20:52 pm »
OK, I have tried to get most of MAMEwah running again after the update (I miss the simplicity of the old menu system).  Most works fine, but just a couple of issues--wondering if anyone else has ran into the same things:
1)  Now, when I first launch MAMEwah, it refreshes and shows the "Windows" of the desktop before actually launching into MAMEwah.  The best part of MAMEwah has always been the lack of windows.  Does this happen to everyone?  Minwah, will this be changed in the bug-free version?
2)  I have tried to get the controls option working--I am using a game controller on a PC at the moment.  Most of it seems to work fine, but a couple of issues:  a)  I cant find an option to escape the CPviewer when it is automatically launched before a game.  I have to go back to the keyboard for this and I cant find an option on the .ini file to allow one of the buttons to do this.  b)  When I am playing a game, I dont know the option to have a button serve as the "escape" key to go back to MAMEwah.  Is there one?  c)  Lastly, when I exit a game, it take a good 10-15 seconds before the controller is able to again function--the keyboard as well for that matter.  Is everyone experiencing this delay?  I have both the keyboard and joystick activated at the moment until I get everything on the controller.
3)  The 3darcade videos are "locked" into a certain size.  I would like to have them "fit" the location I have for them on the layout--such as with the other artwork.  Anyway to do this?
4)  How exactly are you able to filter with this new MAMEwah?  It was so simple before as far as select the area you wanted filtered, clones, manufacturer, control type, etc.  I still cant figure out how to do this with the new one.
Thanks.  That is it for now.  
Minwah, when is the bug-fixed version due out??

(1st Q's ignored as you emailed me these, can't be bothered to type it again)

Filters are exactly the same as before, except you have to add ini files for each list to wish to have - read readme1st.txt.

Bug-fix will be out very soon, perhaps tonight :)
