[Demon-Seed]

Hello
Pardon my ignorance if these have aleady been suggested for a future version of mamewah.

-have some sort of scrolling MP3 tag display.
-ability to conifg  how rom names show ie) removes those annyoing good tool tags ie) (U) [!].
-ability to play internet radio like shoutcast

just an idea or 2

1) -have some sort of scrolling MP3 tag display.
2) -ability to conifg  how rom names show ie) removes those annyoing good tool tags ie) (U) [!].
3) -ability to play internet radio like shoutcast

1) Good idea, consider it on my todo list when the layout system is updated.

2) You can do it - just use a custom list and hit 'Generate Filtered List...'

3) Not sure about that one, either how to do it or if I like the idea...

would you want to listent to the radio while browsing games in MameWah or do you want  to use your cab as a "radio" while you do other thigns in the same toom in the cab? Because if that'sthe case you could set up winamp or whatever you use to play internet radio as an "emulator" and launch that from MameWah

Can you explain to me how I do that 2) get ride of the (U)[!} etc? I would really appreciate it. That would save me from having to rename them all manually.

Shoutcast. was thinking instead of loading pc with mp3 songs to play while looking through mamewah you could have shout case play in back ground.

Just curious is there an option to cusomize the screensaver? and is there a way to have click noises etc.. when you click a game to play??? or scroll?? if so how is that done I am not sure on that.

what about when you switch emu screens have it fade in or something...... or disolve... that would be kool

Have you checked the docs that were installed when you installed the program?

Actually guys, it's not that obvious!

Here's what I did for the gameboy emulator:

copy gameboy-0.ini to gameboy-1.ini
Manually edit gameboy-1.ini to give the list a title

glaunch mamewah, go to the gameboy emulator, press 2, and  since we now have 2 ini defined, we have a "select game list" option which didn't exist earlier.
Define the game list as filtered and voila, your list is clean.

Event sounds - read \docs\layout.txt ...

Maybe one day (if I move to DirectDraw), but for now it's not possible

I love Mamewah =)  

yea it took me a little while to get it running what I want, but now I have flawless custom lists, and Zinc running thru it and couldnt be happier.  Have event sounds for the menus, and found this arcadenoise.mp3 file (just plays what sounds like background arcade noise) that I use as my background menu music.  

Only suggestion I can really make is to have a sort of config screen to make it easier for the lazy and/or non-technical-types to get it up and running quicker.  I know there was that Mamewah-Setup thing, but that was half-ass in my opinion.  And it should be together as one, not seperate.

Select a games list that isn't the main one (eg the one which \ini\console-1.ini refers to),
Select Games List Options > Generate Filtered List...

By default that will filter the suffixes from the rom descriptions.
