Mamewah and PC Blitz

[brophog]

Was lucky enough tonight to score a cheap copy of NFL Blitz for the PC. I tried to load it in Mamewah with the rest of my PC Games, and mamewah hangs. I tried changing the ini to {dosbox} and {safelaunch} but no luck.

Blitz isn't even running in the background, which is usually the problem when mamewah hangs. The shortcut I created works fine on it's own, but mamewah can't call it for some reason.

The only other game not working is Feeding Frenzy, and I have no idea what it's problem is.

For starters...

You SOB!  I've got ads posted everywhere to track down Blitz!  (share your source?)

Beyond that, I'm going to try and get Hamsterball installed tonight--not that it's any immediate help--but when I'm tinkering, I'll keep an eye and see what I get stuck with.

You know you'll probably end up helping me more than I help you, right?

I seriously got lucky. Was in a used book store tonight and they had some old PC games. No manuals, nothing fancy. Found the CD sitting there in an undisclosed CD case for under 2 bucks. Sheer luck.

Doesn't make me like you any more by knowing the story.  Just saying...

If you do get this going (I'm not sure how to do this), I'd love to hear if you are able to map the "yes" key.  I've searched around and this seems to be the only key that can't be mapped using a CP...

I'm guessing there is a problem in Mamewah 1.61 that is causing this. I just tried the Mamewah 1.62 beta and both blitz and Feeding Frenzy launch fine in that. What I don't know is how to use Ipac programming in 1.62.

Odd. I cannot get Mamewah 1.62b9 to work correctly with my arcade machine. It'll run fine with mame, but adding directories to generate new platforms does not work.

Seems Mamewah 1.62 is still a little buggy. Oddly I could not get it to run at all extracted with winrar, but it did with winzip.
