Changing game display names in MameWah?
« on: May 26, 2008, 01:06:36 pm »
Is it possible to change the game names in MameWah?  For example, instead of having all the parts at the end of the name (set1, set2, jpn, usa etc.), just showing the name of the game?

Mamewah can do this automatically...you need to make a custom games list, select it, and then use Games List Options > Generate Filtered List option.  You do not need to filter anything out if you don't want to, but change a filter temporarily so that Mamewah generates the list.  By default the info in brackets or square brackets will be removed from the game descriptions :)

I don't have that "filtered list" option when I go to Games List Options?  Am I doing something wrong?

You need to select the games list (Select Games List option). If you do not have this option, then you need to create a custom list by placing a new empty ini file in your \mamewah\config\emuname folder. emuname-0.ini refers to the main list, so you need to create emuname-1.ini (...and emuname-2.ini, emuname-3.ini etc for extra lists if neccessary).

Thanks, finally got it working. I got a bit confused with the different ini files. Thanks for the help :-)
