MAMEwah artwork & videos

[moonchilddave]

I have a few questions... using MAMEwah 1.68 and have it set up pretty nice, but have a few things that I was wondering if it's possible to do.

1) I have videos I'm using from EmuMovies, and they work - but is there a way to display them instantly?  If I set the delay to 0 it disables the videos.  Setting it to 1 is a one second delay.  I wish the video (if there is one) would start right away.

2) I have it set so that P1 button 1 brings up the history in the video/artwork area.  Would it be possible to "cycle" that display?  In other words, what I'd love to have happen is you press the button once and it goes to the game history.  Press it again and it switches to a picture of the cabinet.  Again, the control panel image, next the game flyer, then a screenshot, then back to the video.  Is this possible???  If not, how hard would it be to add?  Of course, I'd want it to skip any that were missing... So if say a game didn't have a flyer it would go to the next display (screenshot).  Even if you had to use a different button for each that would be ok (button 1: history, button 2: cabinet, button 3:  control panel, etc...).

1. I think you can set it to something like 0.1 or .01.

Yep - that works... I set it to .01 and it seems to work!

Anyone got an answer to #2... Minwah???

Don't think this is possible atm. You can have an image, movie and history.dat in the same Artwork box, but not different images from different folders. I will have a think about how this could be incorporated, but I probably won't be working on Mamewah for a while (bigger fish to fry at the moment...)
