mamewah and pc games

[Popcorrin]

I have been attempting to get pc games working on mamewah but have had no luck.  I have read numerous other posts for answers to my problems but haven't come up with a solution.
I am running version 951b.  I went into the cfg file and updated the executable to 'pc', made a folder with shortcuts to my pc games and set up the rom path accordingly.  When I refresh my game lists it shows shortcuts to the available games but when I go to select any one of the games nothing happens.  It doesn't hang up, it doesn't do anything.  I tried looking at the debug.log file but it only shows the path to the last mame game I played.  
  If my question has been answered somewhere else I apologize for the unnecessary post but any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

Sounds like you've done everything right...just try putting the 'PC' bit in capitals, let me know if that makes any difference...

im having the same issue, i'v tried a .BAT file also that points to the executable and that does the same as the LNK shortcuts, it brings up the loading screen with in mamewah as if its going to load then it shuts down and goes back to mame, loads nothing and does it very fast. i'v done all the above and i have it in CAPS, any ideas?

I use batch files to launch pc games and other exes in Mamewah and havn't had any trouble.  This works fine for me both in Win98 and WinXP.

Here is the settings I use:

;EMULATOR OPTIONS
Emulator Title = Miscellaneous
Logo Image Filename = C:\top logos\miscellaneous top.jpg
'No Snapshot' Image Filename = C:\MAMEWAH\MAMEWAH-NO SNAP.PNG
Emulator Executable = PC
Default Options =
Extra Options #1 =
Extra Options #2 =
Show DOS Box = 0
Send ROM Path = False
Use Long Filenames = False
Send ROM Extension = True
DAT Filename =
NMS Filename =
CatVer Filename =
ROM Path = c:\misc
ROM Extension = bat
List Generation Method = 0

I have separate batch files for each program I want to load located in the misc directory as defined in the ROM Path statement above.

e.g. Here is a batch file that will launch Mame32.
Mame32.bat

cd\
cd "\emu\Mame32"
Mame32.exe

Hope this helps

Try setting 'Show DOS Box' to 'Yes'?...

Changing 'pc' to capitals did the trick.  Works great.  Thanks for your help.  By the way, awesome FE.
