Title: mameWAH setup problems :S
Post by: david656 on September 25, 2007, 03:53:06 pm

maybe i have been looking in the wrong places but the latest version of mameWAH loads and displays no games.

the one that the setup thingy supports loads with no games aswell

i have C:\mame\roms with roms in there and if i double click mame.exe i can play them

im used to ARCADEOS and have just downloaded mameWAH it looks from screenshots AMAZING but cannot get it to work !

helpppppp

thanks

Make sure you are using the latest version. There was an issue with the previous version that would not allow it to generate a game list in anything but mame. he latest version can be gotten here:

Also make sure you download and install the MameWAH System Files from the MameWAH website.

Good Luck,
John

right! i got bord and started hitting at the keyboard and hit a few 2's and found that you have to tell it to look for the games ! i thought it would look automatic onstartup first time DUH !

so WoW i got mameWAH going atleast ! my main concern is why is mameWAH a crappy little box in the top left hand corner and not full screen !?!?

and how do you add audio etc

thanks again

This happens if your layout isn't the same size as your desktop. Either change the layout to reflect the size of your desktop or look in your mamewah folder you should have a file named mamewah.ini
There change safe_mode from 1 to 0

There you have all other options including the music one.
