There's no way I can config mamewah...

AceTKK:
Uh... no.  MameWah works for any version of MAME or any other program that can be launched from a commandline.

Well I know my web design isn't up to much, but are your eyes OK?  It couldn't be easier to read if you ask me.


--- Quote ---I'm new to this and I am having a hella time setting up Mamewah as well.  I find it quite poor that probably the most important piece of information about Mamewah is not to be found anywhere on the website or in the documentation (as far as I can tell).  And that is that Mamewah ONLY works with MAME for DOS.

As Ace said, any commandline emulator should work.  Actually the defaults are for Windows MAME.


--- Quote ---Is this or is this not true?  I've read this on a number of websites but have yet to see it mentioned in the official docs.  MAME for windows doesn't respond at all for me.  But MAME for DOS works.  And by "works" I mean at least the game list will refresh.  Launching a game that doesn't hang my PC has yet to be achieved.

You're not using MAME32 are you?  Make sure you're using Windows commandline MAME, and your commandline_format looks something like '[name]{autodosbox}{nosafelaunch}'.

If that doesn't work (it should), change {autodosbox} for {dosbox} (then {nodosbox} if that works), and/or change {nosafelaunch} to {safelaunch}.

Just like someone else mentioned earlier in the thread, I'd suggest trying Mamewah Config 1.61.1 if you are having trouble.

It will help you set things up and make it simple.

It is discussed here:

this is the bad thing about mamewah its a shame, its a great front end, but its crazy that the setup is so difficult, i have done atomicfe & ultrastyle(those two are a snap) but i just gave up on mamewah, if  somehow the setup could be done a little better ,for example ultrastyle has a setup wizard that holds your hand all the way thru, if mamewah had this type of setup it would rule above all others
thanks
