FE Noob help needed (mamewah)

[steve_pss]

Could someone please tell me how to get my game configs to work with mamewah? i tried copying my config folder from Mame32 over to my Mame folder, no dice there. Is there a good source for Noob help?

Also how do you set global options like skip info screen and such?

First of all, don't use MAME32 with MAMEWAH.  If you are trying to use MAME32 configs with commandline MAME I don't think this works either.

Use Windows commandline MAME to create an ini file: 'mame -cc' at a command prompt.  Adjust these settings for what you want for ALL games...but then if you require specific changes for other games create new INI files named with the romnames: eg '1942.INI'.  Either copy MAME.INI's contents to 1942.INI and adjust the settings required, or simply type the settings to be changed into a blank 1942.INI.

I know that's a bit rushed and probably doesn't make sense, so check here:

Beware some sections of this site refer to commandline MAME as Win32 MAME, which is NOT the same a MAME32.

Oh yeah, you can set the skip_disclaimer and whatever else in MAME.INI.

Good luck...

so create an INI for Mame and set the global options.. got that and that site seemed pretty helpful but couple more questions:

were do I find ALL the command line options (like nag screens off)

do i create a new folder to put individual INI files for the games in? mame32 gui version has a folder called cfg with all the options, thats what i tried to copy to my regular mame (mame32 command line) folder.

ALL of the command line options are in the mame.ini file (to turn off nag screens, look for lines 'skip_disclaimer' and 'skip_gameinfo' - they're near the bottom of the file)

the 'CFG' folder is for the games individual control settings...you need to create an 'INI' folder in \MAME\, then open yer mame.ini and set the 'inipath' line to C:\MAME\INI (or whatever)
(oh, if the 'inipath' line has a # in front of it, remove it, otherwise MAME will just ignore it...)
