However, when I type c:\mame\mame.exe wwfmania into the cmd, it says that all the files are missing. This wouldn't be a problem, except nothing shows up now when I try to run johnny5 either. I just get the button layout, but no labels.

Yep, you are running mame form outside of the mame folder.

Typing this at c:\ will cause mame to run but form the root folder
c:\mame\mame.exe mygame

Now, if you changed to the mame folder (c:\mame) and type this it will find the folders.
mame.exe mygame.

Ok, I have some Johnny5 information working now, but I can not get any controls to display. When I try to bring it up, I get the game information on the buttom, and what type of controler it uses, but I can't see anything for the buttons. I believe it probably has something to do with the ctrlr files, but I'm not sure. I run mamewah, so my default controls are in there.
If it is any help, I have mamewah in my documents. Can anybody help me out?

Tiger-Heli:
I don't think your default controls are in mamewah.

I have some Johnny5 troubleshooting info at http://www.mameworld.net/tigerheli/johnny/ (buried amongst the flotsam and jetsom).

Two things I can tell you.

Make sure you have a mame.ini (for mame not mamewah) and make sure it matches your .exe (i.e. if you use mamepp.exe, make sure you have a mamepp.ini file.

See http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=49350.msg480560#msg480560 for help with a similar problem.

Beyond that, troubleshoot in steps - Get MAME set-up and working (ensure it changes key assignments when you change them) (outside of MAMEwah).

Get Johnny5 displaying labels.

Verify Johnny5's labels match MAME's labels.

Verify Johnny5 launches when MAME is paused (if desired).

Integrate MAME back into MAMEwah.

I got it working! Thanks for your help.

Ok, now I have another problem. johnny5 runs fine when I call for it on its own. I am trying, however, to get it to come up when the game is paused. I downloaded the script and autohotkey program, and the only thing I changed in the script was the path to johnny5. When I pause the game, however, johnny5 says the game I'm looking for is not found. Then, after I unpause the game, after about 1 to two seconds it repauses on its own. Even after I esc from mame, the p button causes johnny5 to pop up. I have the J5 batch file and autohotkey script in the johnny5 folder, which is in my mame folder. What do I have wrong?
