I'm an idiot- Help installing MameWah & Analog+!

[eyal8r]

ok guys-
I must be a complete idiot. I downloaded the latest Analog+ version, as well as MameWah.  I installed the system files for MameWah. Now what?  I double click the MameWah icon, it boots to the standard black screen, but then it says no games loaded. I can select between all games, or, a list I think. But there's not showing any of my games in there. Can someone explain to me how to get this up and running?

Also- on the Analog+ version- which, btw, I'm running XP, dual spinners and dual TBs-  I double click the icon, and it says it must run from a command line. I guess I need to configure it somehow, but how?  Would someone be willing to hold my hand through this?  It can't be that hard. I've just been away for a year and forgotten everything.  Help???
Thanks!

I wish I had a solution.  I could never get it to work neither.  I moved to 3DArcade/Emulaxian and have it working fine.
I could not figure out what the fuss about Mamewah was after I couldn't get it to work.
The screen loads and tells me there are no games?

You need to generate a games list.  Hit '2' to bring up the menu and then hit Games List Options > Generate List (make sure you have the 'main' list selected before doing this).

If the above doesn't work then you need to edit the emuname.ini (eg mame.ini) file in your \mamewah\ini folder.  Depending on what version of MAME you are running the list_generation_method might need changing: 'rom_folder_vs_listinfo' for MAME v0.83-, 'rom_folder_vs_listxml' for newer versions.
