Mamewah help needed.
« on: October 01, 2008, 11:58:09 am »
Hi all, I am having trouble getting Mamewah to generate a gameslist. I've been using it for years without issue, but have just now updated to MAME .0127b and MAMEwah 1.63. I also have the catver.ini released on 9/27/08.

I can run mame from the command prompt with no issue so I know it is a MAMEwah config problem.

In mamewah's mame.ini file, if I replace the "list_generation_mehtod" to rom_folder I can get my roms listed and play them, but there is no description and the roms are listed by the actual filename. If I put it back to rom_folder_vs_listxml it wont generate any gameslist.

All of my directories are set correctly and I cannot see any other issue. Here is my mamewah mame.ini file:

### mame.ini (mamewah v1.63) ###
