Mamewah w/ Neo Geo games???
Gaston77:
Hi,
I have a small issue with Neo geo roms not loading in mamewah. I have the roms and they work perfectly fine with Neorage. All of them. I also have neogeo.zip which is the BIOS file. When mamewah generates the list, they all come up in the list as well(Im using ROM vs List generation method)!! And to make it even more bizarre; some NEogeo roms start up without any problem whatsoever. Lets take the KOF series as an example; KOF 94 works, 95 does not, 96 does, 97 does not 98 does not etc. Same goes for other NeoGeo Roms. When I load the non-working roms it tells me there is an error in mame.ini and more specifically in lines 49 (external app settings) and up. Mamewah then goes on to unzip the rom but in the end reverts back to the game selection screen. THe errors that mamewah indicates have to do with the external settings...something in these settings must instruct Mamewah NOT to load certain ROMsets? Now for the killer; I have no external settings as you can see below;
### mame.ini (mamewah v1.61) ###
emulator_title M.A.M.E.
### List Generation Settings ###
rom_path c:\mame\roms
rom_extension zip

scratch that. I went into DOS and went to see what the error is/was;
When I type the following in the DOS line;
c:\mame\mame.exe KOF2002 -verifyroms > C:\Mame\files\verify
mame goes through the entire mame.ini file and says;
error: unknown option emulator_title on line 3 of file mame.ini
ignoring line
and it then goes through the entire mame.ini file in that fashion.

I am still struggling here. Please help if somebody has a clue as to why my Neo Roms dont work.... ??? ??? ???

It is referring to the mame.ini file that is in the mame folder. When updating mame you should always regenerate a new mame.ini fle and then move your setting over from the old mame.ini file. What version of Mame are you using: Have you upgraded recently?
Just an FYI,
