Hi all,

I have been fidling around with my Mamewah setup this weekend and have developed a strange problem.

When I try to change between the 3 different platforms I have set up (MAME, Snes and Genesis), MAME seems to be blanked out/black text.  The other two are fine.  I can still select it fine, I just cant see the word "Mame"

I cant seem to find on the layout files where im going wrong, can anyone point me in the right direction please.

Many thanks

Sounds like you don't have the name at the top of the config.  So when you are trying to select a platform from the menu, it reads what is sees and for mame, there may be nothing at the top of the config.  If not that, you may want to grab the layout editor from 1.61 and change the font color on the menu layout.

I think the text is just set to black. Open the layout in Layout Designer, swithc to the Options screen and check your text color and selected text color.

Hi all,

Pretty sure its not the font colour set as black, everything is currentyl set as green and as I said before, I can see SNES and Genesis perfectly fine.

Good point about MAME at the top of the ini file, I will have a look at that when I get home!

Thanks
