hope that helps

Yeah, I found that, but all it does on both my "regular" PC and my Mame PC is generate a "Cannot initialise application error". Seeing the Icon it uses (a pile of ---Cleveland steamer---) I thouht it was a phoney ?

<EDIT> Oops, only now I read it needs .NET framework ! Downloading  it now and will give it a 2nd try !

NO! It's not phoney.......  But it will still generate errors if you don't use an Ipac in your cabinet. These files look great, but are designed to configure to the kit of the person who wrote them. For the rest of us they're a bit of a waste of time and you might as well still be writing your own config files.

At least that way you get to understand how they work.

kiddk1:
if I had a mamewah walkthru I would probably be using that instead of gameex right now.

farmecologist:

Seems like a Mamewah walkthru would be a good candidate for the wiki?

Level42:
Yeah, check out the Mamewah pages on the Wiki and you know there needs to be there something. I do think the Mamewah Config utility is a good starting point, but I haven't got it to work without errors yet.

Fozzy, I don't think you need an IPAC for the Config Tool, it's just optional (just like with Mamewah itself). However I'm using a J-Pac, so I dont mind if it is supported.

joe35car:
I also use mamewah as my frontend but dont know how to get all the bells and whistles to work.  read all kinds of forums but still stuck on a few things.  like change my layouts and also when i generate list it just shows the parent roms and not all the clones.  thanks :cheers:
