Mamewah / ZiNc video preview help

[ScooterMAC]

I am having trouble getting video previews to work with zinc. The config file for mamewah is set to the correct path, the video files match the rom names and my codecs are good. I also have many other emulators that the videos work fine with. I thought it might be because of the dat file so I tried renaming the video files to match the game names on the zinc.dat file and that didn't work either. I've searched all around the forum and net for this and couldn't come up with anything. Can someone help me out?

Your movie filenames need to match your rom filenames ideally.

If your video files are bad for some reason, then Mamewah will report so in mamewah.log. If nothing is reported in there, then Mamewah cannot find your files - check all paths/filenames etc.

The video files play fine in media player, match the roms and work under my mame page. All the cfg paths are correct under mamewah/zinc as well. I'll double check the mamewah.log to see if any errors were created. Thanks.

By any chance are you using the package I made?

I'm using the setup from Zebidee. It worked but it took me awhile to figure out how to edit the list through the dat file.

I finally got it to work!!! My cfg file in mamewah/zinc had list generation method dat file, so I went to the dat file and looked at what the game number was for each game then made sure the videos matched it. An example would be that Street Fighter EX had to be changed from sfex.avi to 25. It was a little confusing to try to get all of them all perfect.

Now I have only one left...this hurts my brain....in the dat file, there are two games listed as number 24. It's Star Gladiator and Tetris Grand Masters. I've tried to change the number in the dat file but then it wont play. I also tried to change the number in the catver and the gamenum file so all three files match up, but it wont play. At least the video preview works . If anyone has any suggestions on how to correctly modify the three files (zinc.dat,catver.ini,gamenum.cfg) it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
