MameWah as Shell Not Shutting Down on Exit

[Wulfster]

I have set Mamewah as my default shell under XP Pro, and everything works fine until I exit Mamewah.  When I do, I see a blank Windows background.  I've changed exit_action to shutdown in mamewah.ini with no difference.  Am I missing something?

Does it work right when you select exit and shutdown from the menu?

Forget the exact reason, but apparently that setting refers to an exit through MAMEWAH's menu, so I suggest just exiting through the menu.  Never saw anything about somebody getting it to shutdown by just hitting escape

My ESCAPE key works like that.

I think for it to work, you have to mess with the windows setting for logon, require password, etc.

It works as expected when I exit through the menu, but it doesn't when I use escape.  It's probably a registry setting I'm missing.

It should shut down completely and turn off the PC if your set the ctrlr file like so:

EXIT_TO_WINDOWS         
EXIT_AND_REBOOT      
EXIT_AND_SHUTDOWN   "DIK_ESCAPE"

Also check your mamewah.ini file in the MameWAH folder. There is a shutdown setting in there that tells it WHAT to do when the above command is executed.

Changing the ctlr file did the trick for me.  Thanks!
