ZSNES and Mamewah
Jedirampage:
Can anyone help me with configuring znes to work with mamewah, I loaded the emulator into mamewah however I can't play any games. Everytime i try to load a game nothing happens.

I am having the exact same problem running mamewah 1.61 with CP's ini files modified to run on 1.61. I can run the games outside the emulator just fine. I can get the dos version to work just fine although the emulation is very very slow.
In the windows version of zsnesfe (modified version) there is no emulator shut off comand like in the dos version.
Is their another emulator that will work for snes in mamewah?

You guys are in luck!!
I had massive problems with ready-made .ini files for MAMEWAH and a lot of people seemed reluctant to post their .ini files. Others just couldn't identify problems. However, after a bit of tinkering I identified some problems with the file and modified it slightly. Turns out the 'executable commandline format' was wrong!
Stick with ZSNES, it is brilliant once it is working. Just make sure you get the modified version from the cpviewer website (jcrouse's) which enables 'Escape' to exit the emulator, rather than call up the menu.
One problem I had with it was the speed, which seemed slower under MAMEWAH, but isn't really. What I found though was I had a delay between button presses and the action on screen. No-one could explain it, but in the end it turned out to be as a result of triple buffering in the 800x600 resolution I had it in. I shut this off and it was fine! Here is my .ini file. All you should need to change is the 'rom folder location' and the 'emulator executable location':

Try that and see if it works. I found a few of the .ini files I downloaded were slightly wrong, so if you struggle with any others just post it here and I'll see if I have it.... :)
