First of all Mamewah is awesome and any help I receive is greatly appreciated. I have been dealing with this problem myself for quite sometime and would like to get it fixed as my cabinet is 95% completed.
This doesnt happen all the time nor in every game but basically when playing a game , usually 4 player, but sometimes 2 player, we will be playing a game, usually one that requires multiple buttons requiring alot of hits at a time such as fighting games, the screen cuts into about 3/4 of the screen with mamewah inside of it and back on the main mamewah menu but completely frozen. I check task manager and it says not responding, Mame.exe is also running, I have to end both and start all over, this is very frustrating, I know ive f'd up something with the ini or control mappings or something but here is what I have tried so far:
MY setup: 4 players with 7 buttons on 1 and 2, 7 buttons on players 3 and 4 but only 4 are mapped. No buttons are mapped the same nor to any keys such as CTRL/SHIFT/CAPSLOCK/TAB/INSERT or anything like that, all numbers and letters. I am going through an IPAC 4 from Ultimarc (awesome also by the way). I have used both the mame defaults and remapped everything in Mame one button at a time and either way it still does the same thing.
I have searched this forum but cannot find anything related, ive spent countless hours trying to fix it and every time I think I have it fixed it happens again. Can someone give me any tips? or an INI file or something that I can use. MY board is setup almost exactly like a slikstik quad with no spinner or 4 way controller.
Thanks for any help anyone can give me, you are all the reason ive gotten as far as I have!
