Mamewah help please
« on: May 29, 2005, 03:14:25 am »
Ok so I've just reformatted my hard drive and installed the latest Mamewah 1.61. I'm using mame v0.86b. When I run Mamewah I get a black screen. I actually have to shut down the PC and start again. When I read the notepad file this is what I see. Any ideas on a fix?
