mamewah and file folders
« on: September 29, 2004, 10:03:46 pm »
Iam setting up mamewah with Sega CD and am a little unsure how to proceed. I have used mamewah with epsxe(playstation). I re-named all of the all of the files to .bin and generated a list. mamewah performed flawlessly.
     My sega CD collection is different. Each game is in a folder. The folder contains music tracks and an iso file. Launching the iso file from gens starts the game. How do I get mamewah to list the iso's from in the file folders?

Thanks
Todd

Launching the iso file from gens starts the game.

You could try setting the rom_extension to nothing (leave blank), in an effort to list *. - this should work for listing the games, not sure about launching them...

How do you do it from a commandline?  gens c:\roms\gamename\gamename.iso ?

Can you do it with: gens c:\roms\gamename ?

When I leave Rom  extention blank I get a runtime error 9.

Any thoughts?

And yes, you had the command line correct before.

Thanks

How about if you put a space there (not sure if this will work)?

Alternatively, I think you'll need to make a DAT file, and generate the list using that.  I think there is a DAT-creator program at Howards site - www.oscarcontrols.com/lazarus .

I use a * to list all the files in the my multi-emulator set-up for Mamewah.

It lists all my files and shortcuts, but not the folders.  

You could create shortcuts (or any file with iso name) in the rom folder and then launch a bat file from Mamewah such as

SegaCD.bat  that includes:
      gens c:\roms\%1\%1.iso  

Just make sure Memewah does not send rom path or extension.

If I had an ISO i would try this oput for you but it seems like it shoudl work.
