Please help.. mamewah and mame

[hazelwood7]

I have an issue with Mamewah, using it with Mame that is driving me nuts. When using Mame with Mamewah, games have weird sound problems and the games will run ok but suddenly the frame rate will jump and the sound with hiccup. This is really apparent in Ms. Pacman and the sound is really iffy in Donkey Kong. The sound in Donkey Kong will raise itself in pitch and get all crazy. When I run the games in Mame32, they run fine and have no problems. I checked my setting in mame and they match my setting in mame32 including the sound settings. I am running windows xp, an AMD Semprom at 2400+ with 512 Megs of ram, Arcade VGA and Ipac 4 through USB. Can someone help?

I was also experiencing problems with the sound in Mame/Mamewah. The sound would break/stutter in seeming simple games like Pac-man and Galaga. However, the same games didn't have a problem in Mame32.

I did a careful comparison of the 2 ini files and there were a couple of seemingly minor differences. When I changed the settings in Mame.ini to be exactly the same as those in Mame32 (picture, sound, everything). All was well again.

However, seeing as you have said you have already done that, I'm at a bit of a loss. Perhaps you may have missed one? I know that I found that settings in the mame32 ini file were not in the same order as those in mame.ini. Took a bit of scrolling, but I got there in the end and no more sound issues.

Hehe no kidding   This reminds me of the new technique I just learned that works perfectly to keep someone in suspense.

It was the setting "stretch the screen to fit the screen". It was on 1, I set it to 0... Problem solved! Thanks for all the help..
