Hello Minwah and/or anyone else that can help.
I can't seem to get mamewah going. I am at the point now where I have a bunch of roms, I am understanding mame ok, and would like to have a good FE going for my cabinet. I like the look and function of mamewah, and I can't wait to get it going.
I am using mame32fx (newest version) and Mamewah ver. 1.6. I will use regular mame if I have too, but I think I prefer mame32fx. I saw some recomendations to upgrade to the new beta version, which I will, if needed.
I have downloaded the system files, the program, and set the ini files appropriately (i think). When I launch mamewah, it opens to the title screen. I then go to the options menu, to game list options, and to generate list. It tries to find the games, but comes up with nothing.
I have mame32fx installed in the c:\mame32fx directory and mamewah installed in the c:\mamewah\ directory.
My .ini files look like this:
### mame.ini (mamewah v1.61) ###
emulator_title M.A.M.E.

rom_path c:\mame32fx\roms
rom_extension zip
