MameWAH only launching certain games
« on: August 03, 2006, 10:38:32 am »
I have setup and configured MameWAH. It seems to be working fine, it generates game lists, plays the sounds, all that kind of thing.  I can even launch certain games (eg 1942). But I cannot launch Donkey Kong. I have tracked it down that MameWAH is passing the ROM name in CAPITAL LETTERS.  When this happens, Mame responds with a listing of games that match that name (donkey kong, donkey kong jr, donkey kong 3). Since there is only one 1942, it works fine.

This may be a Mame issue, and not a MameWAH one. But I was wondering if anyone else had seen this or have any ideas how to either get Mame to shut up and load the ROM or how to tell MameWAH not to use CAPITAL LETTERS.

Thanks

McB

I think I'm having the exact same problem with mamewah.

I can run 1941, 1942, ect.   But I am unable to run any other game.

If anyone has a solution to this problem it would be really helpful.


{edit} -  Actually   I'm entirely confident that this is the problem.  Mame's latest version is case sensitive for some odd reason.  When I reverted to an older version (1.02) everything worked just fine.
