Mamewah list help needed
« on: January 27, 2010, 06:57:38 pm »
I just upgraded my mame to 036, but I can't seem to get Mamewah to generate a list with the actual titles in it. I get the following error messages:

1/26/2010 11:57:52 PM Commandline run: CMD.EXE /c c:\mame\mamepp.exe -listxml|xml2info > C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\MYDOCU~1\mamewah\mame.dat

Can anybody tell me why this isn't working?

You need to download the DAT file for Mame 0.36 here. http://www.logiqx.com/Dats/MAMEBeta/MAME%20v0.36%20(cm).zip
Unzip it inside your mame folder. Then change your list generation method to rom_folder_vs_dat_file and point to it.

So you're Mame.ini should look like this:
