WildcatBob:
Minwah:  yes I have the atari200.lay and mame.lay files in my c:\mamewah\layouts\custom folder.

I have JCrouse's files so I had to rename the artwork and layouts to add in "atari2600" in front of the names in his .zip files.  I did the same for the mame files.

When I run mamewah all I get is the standard classic background.

Thanks.

Your layouts must be named the same as your .ini files. Unzip your zipped layouts in the custom folder one by one. And rename them if necessary. They can all be in the same folder since they'll be named differently. Here's an example of what it should look like: if you're ini is named
atari2600.ini = atari2600.lay, atari2600-main.jpg, atari2600-message
mame.ini = mame.lay, mame.ini =mame-main, mame-message

Open mamewah.ini and make sure it's like this

### Misc Options ###
layout                      custom

WildcatBob:
Gonzo:  thanks for the response, but I have my files named exactly as you say and I have my mamewah.ini changed so that layout shows "custom" and I am still getting the classic background.

Do I need to make any changes within the .lay files or am I completely missing the boat?

gonzo90017:
Try using the Mamewah Layout designer. File>Open Layout then browse to the custom folder and open mame.lay. Now go to Background>Image and go to the custom folder and open mame-main. You can remove anything you want by going to Display Objects>Main Form. Everything can be changed by just dragging it with the mouse. It's pretty easy. Once you're done go to open>save layout. Save it somewhere other than the custom folder. Now go to the custom folder and delete mame.lay and mame-main and move your new ones their.
