MsgexecCmd error in Mamewah

[govee]

Mame 61 and mamewah V1.62, Win98SE. I was having video problems that would not resolve so I used my old standby, Format C:. Now have a fresh load win98 as well as mame and mamewah. All video problems are gone but I am having no luck with list generation. I have changed the mame.ini to reflect _listinfo. Here are my .ini's and my log file. Games work when launched from cmd line pmt.

Is this v1.62b13? (I think it is)?  If so, then try v1.62b13a - I uploaded this at the Mamewah board a few days ago.

Also, where did you get the MsgExecCmd error from?  It doesn't show in the log...

sorry I had cut out the line for a google search before copying it to here. I have v1.62b13 so I will try a.

Try {autodosbox} instead of {nodosbox}. May not fix this issue but I believe that is correct for that version of mame/mamewah.

Ok, I tried the n"a" version and tragically still fails. here is the new log.
I also change to autodosbox with no joy.

Change it back to {nodosbox} for the latest beta.
