Author Topic: Forgive me - MAMEWAH as Shell? (Read 1545 times)

Odonadon · « **on:** June 24, 2003, 12:29:34 pm »

I have completely forgotten. All this time with Win2k and XP, I can't remember how to change my shell. How do I make Mamewah my shell instead of explorer in Win98?

Oh, and will Mamewah actually run if I do this?

Edit: system.ini, right? I don't have access to any win9x machines at work, so I can't browse through like I'd like to

System.ini

Shell= (change from explorer.exe to mamewah.exe)

A ha, I was right. cool. Now, Mamewah should run fine without Explorer, right? I guess I could get off my lazy ass and try it and see for myself...

But Mamewah doesn't rely on explorer or anything weird like that, does it? I seem to remember somebody saying something about GameLauncher having a problem like that, and you couldn't run it as the shell or something.

I have run the last version of MameWah (0.90) as my shell before but not the newest one (0.951B). Wouldn't see why the new one wouldn't work also.

I haven't tried it, but yes, it should work fine

Tried, and confirmed. It works, and works fine. God bless you Minwah

You've made my week.
