Need help with mamewah intro video

[mscromer]

I have finally decided to build a mame cabinet after many years of playing mame on my computer. Ive been lurking around here for the past month trying to get all kinds of info to build it. I already have parts on order and while I'm waiting, I wanted to get all the software up and running. My problem is I'm using Mamewah  1.62 and I cant get a intro video to play before mamewah starts up. I put the path to the movie in the mamewah.ini file under ### Movie Settings ###   intro_movie_file   I thought it would be that easy. I was able to get music to play while mamewah is running just fine, I thought the intro movie would be as easy. what am I doing wrong? Please help Thanks The Newbie

That's the way I do it, and it works fine.  Make sure that you include the .avi or .mpg at the end of the file name, though.

Your a genius TAG. That was it, I didn't have .avi at the end. Thank you very much. It is so frustrating when it turns out to be something that simple.
