Add my vote to those saying MameWah isn't ready for prime time.
You've done nothing but ---smurfette--- about things here. About a myriad of things that you can't figure out, can't find, can't be bothered to read yourself (as evidenced by some of your replies). I call ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow--- on your claim that you're a software developer and had ANYTHING to do with the software used for this board. NO ONE can be as big a whiner, as unwilling to read some docs, as INCAPABLE of understanding the docs after reading them as you've demonstrated yourself to be. WHEN are you going to grace us with your magical elixir to solve all these problems that you claim are "bad programming"? Clearly, by stating so, you're assuming that you are a GOOD programmer, so put up or shut up.
IMO, your crap doesn't add up.
My version of AOL doesn't have this option... I will try to get the latest version just to be sure.
I just started playing with MameWah and I have a very ominous feeling about this software as well... as a software developer, I get kind of depressed when I see some of the stuff that's out here and how problemmatic or badly documented it is.
A software developer? Using AOL? Unable to figure out software that NON-SOFTWARE-PROGRAMMER people are able to understand and get working? Again I say ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow---. NOTHING you seem to say adds up, including your "I read the manual and it still doesn't make sense" and "I tried a brazilian things but none of them worked". You've asked questions about MAME that are CLEARLY answered in the documentation, on the MAME site, or here. Your shtick about "n0 1 wanst to help teh noob" is also wearing thin. You've questioned the willingness of the people here to help others, you've put down the programming skills of people without offering your OWN product, and now you're badmouthing something that many people are able to get running, and get it running just fine. You've offered backhanded apologies as in "I'm under pressure and apologize but...." and then proceed to run down a laundry list of reasons why it's someone else's fault why YOU can't figure out how things work.
You read like subzero, only a more careful version who's trying to hold his tongue to avoid being found out or booted again. Like someone who realizes he's still got a project to finish and needs to be able to dance around long enough to get answers. Anyone reading your professions of "just my OPINION" should have their spidey senses going crazy.
Here's an idea, Mr "software programmer". Get to work on your crack front-end that'll solve all the inherent problems you keep finding with others' hard work.
