Mamewah & Vpinmame .ini requested

[Zeosstud]

Happy New Year All,
                                  I am trying to get Howards wrapper, vpinmame and Mamewah working.  I can test the wrapper and everything is fine.  I get the list of tables available with no problems too.  When I launch a table I see the Winners Dont Steal Roms message then stuff goes black, and stays there.  Was hoping maybe someone could post there vpinmame.ini file (or whatever you call it).

     I have vpinmame and visual pinball setup in c:\program files\visual pinball\vpinmame  pretty much the defaults I think.

You only mention MameWAH in your subject line. I will take it that your trying this through MameWAh though. What version are you using? If there is a "alt_launch_method" in the ini file for vpinball try setting it to 1.

Fair Questions, let me try and get specific.

I am in fact using Mamewah as my front end for my arcade games, am trying to add the ability to play the pinball games from within Mamewah.  I am using the latest version of Mamewah 1.6b5 and the latest version of Mame .89 I am also using Howards Wrapper vp-launch4.exe.  Visual Pinball and Vpinmame are versions 1.5, the PC is a 2Gig P4 with 512 Megs of Ram running Windows XP SP1.

As i stated earlier, if I run the wrapper and test it, all is well.  Its only when I try to run it from within Mamewah that I hang up.  Below is a copy of my current .ini for Visual Pinball
