Mamewah and Mess
« on: March 08, 2005, 12:51:26 am »
Hey folks.  I'm having some real problems with getting Mamewah to work with Mess.

I've read all the associated threads... but, none seem to answer this problem of mine.

The issue is that my romset has multiple extensions.  .a52 and .bin .   (atari 5200 romset).  If I set the rom_extension to * in my .ini file.. it lists them all fine, but will not play either .a52 or .bin

However, if I set the rom_extension to either .a52 or .bin, then it'll play them fine.  But, obviously.. it'll only list either the .a52's or the .bin's.

My commandline_format looks like this.

a5200 -skip_disclaimer -skip_gameinfo -nonewui -cart "c:\systems\5200roms\[name].[romext]"{nodosbox}{nosafelaunch}

Any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks

d.

Rename all your roms to the same extension.

The easiest way is to zip them all up individually so they have a zip extension. There are utilities such as batch zip that will do this for you.

I tried renaming them to the same exntesion.  MESS didn't like that.

I'll try zipping them all.  I don't know why I didn't try this earlier... I guess I was under the impression that Mess couldn't  handle Zips.

Thanks.
