Console Emulator problems with Mamewah 1.61...

[dema]

I just upgraded Mamewah from .97 to 1.61 and in doing so I've had a lot of problems getting my console emulators to work. Everything had been working fine for .97 but with the upgrade I'm unable to get the emulators to launch.

For the Nintendo 64 system I'm using Project 64 version 1.5, and I'm using the additional file that allows you to exit by hitting escape. When I launch a game from Mamewah a Project 64 version 1.5 window opens and I am immediately given an error message that reads an attempt to open the file failed. If I then load a game from the open window it works, and can escape when I'm done, but the window remains and it's tricky to get Mamewah to work again.

For the Super Nintendo I'm using ZSNESW with the escape button feature in this case it says that the game is loading but that goes away after a couple seconds and nothing happens.

Any idea what the problem would be? Like I said, all of these files still work correctly in Mamewah .97, so is there something in 1.61 that makes these applications ineffective?

Post some .ini files from 1.61 and we'll help you sort it out.

Nevermind on all the prior questions. After going through a ton of old posts I came across http://home.comcast.net/~cpviewer/downloads.htm which is a great mamewah resource. I was able to find where I was going wrong.

Anyone having a problem with Mamewah should go there and all questions will be answered. It's a great, thorough site.
