MameWah .95b & Other Emulators

[Unkis17]

Working on getting other emulators working: ZINc, Znes, PJ64, Stella, and Gens & apps (Eg MK4).  So far it seems i can only get ZNES to work sort-of.  Steve says their is a wrapper needed for ZINc (from Lazarus), but i am totally lost on how to use it, can anyone help?  Also has anyone been successful to get PJ64 to work?  I tried running it as a seperate app, rather than as an emulator, but it doesn't seem to like that either.
Thanks for all the help and suggestions (to come, i hope).

I have Gens, ZSNES & Stella working perfectly now:  The things you need to change are:

(Stella+ZSNES+Gens: Send ROM Path=Yes, Send ROM Extension=Yes)

(GENS: Show DOS Box=Yes)

IMPORTANT: The default MAMEWAH settings are setup for MAME, which operates quite differently to many other emulators.

As a general rule, if you wish to use an emulator with MAMEWAH, you should do this:

1)  Run the emulator from a real commandline in order to understand the format that it works in.

2) Setup the emulator in MAMEWAH, and try launching a game.

3) If it doesn't work, then open 'debug.log' from the MAMEWAH folder, and compare to the commandline format that you figured out in 1).  (Fix in MAMEWAH if neccessary).

4) If everything seems OK, but it still doesn't work, try setting the 'Show DOS Box' option to 'Yes'

For PC apps / games, you need to do this:

1) Create a folder and place in it Windows shortcuts (.LNK files) for all the games / apps you wish to run,

2) Load MAMEWAH,

3) Setup a free emulator: Set the 'Emulator Executable' as 'PC'.  Set the 'ROM Path' as the folder containing the shortcuts. Pick 'ROM Folder Only' as the 'List Generation Method',

4) Refresh the list.

edit: NOTE: In step 3), the ROM Extension should be set to 'LNK', but MAMEWAH should do this automatically when you enter 'PC.

For ZiNc, setup MAMEWAH as you would MAME, but point to 'cmd-launch.exe' rather than 'zinc.exe'  Place 'cmd-launch.exe' along with 'lconfig.ini' in your ZiNc folder.

Then setup lconfig.ini similarly to mine (attached, I had to rename it to .txt to attach).

I'm not sure if I am using the latest wrapper, but you should get the idea

I just checked, and it seems I am using the commandline wrapper v1.0 (or maybe 2.0).  I tried the later versions 3.0 & 4.0, and neither of them seem to work with ZiNc (for me at least).  The screen goes black as if launching ZiNc, but after a few seconds it throws me back to the FE (or commandline).

Any idea's if you're reading HC??

Anyone got the wrapper v4 working OK with ZiNc?
