a couple of mamewah questions
« on: February 01, 2005, 05:40:12 am »
i'm busy trying out all the front ends i can lay my hands on atm. and now its mamewah to be put in the line of fire lol  ;)

i just recently managed to get mamewah working with snes and i now have it seeing my nes and genesis roms, (arrg manual setup! why oh why has mamewahsetup not been updated  :P ) but i've hit a problem. atm whenever i launch a nes game it starts loading (screen goes black) and then pfft nothing....it just stays black. task manager can see the emu running but it seems to not have loaded the rom. and with genesis the same thing happens, only the task manager couldnt even see the emu and i had to shutdown manually and reboot to get back into windows...anyway here are the two ini files:

Change {nosafelaunch} to {safelaunch}

BTW There is a replacement for MAMEWAH Setup called MAMEWAH Config - see my links page ;)
