Mamewah not launching rom as the front window
« on: July 27, 2006, 06:30:05 am »
Hi all,

Started up mamewah yesterday and for some reason it has stopped launching mame properly.

Instead of just seeing the game, all that is shown is a blank screen.  It is then possible to press the windows key on the keyboard, which shows the task bar,  click on mame and then it shows the game perfectly as it should.

I can then continue to use mamewah and mame perfectly fine until the next time I restart the machine.

I dont know where this problem has developed from and I cant see anything wrong in order to fix it.

Any ideas?

Thank you all

Minwah

Try using {safelaunch} in your commandline_format (as opposed to {nosafelaunch} ).

I'm having the exact same issue using Mamewah 1.61 / Mame 0.70.  I'll try that right away and see what happens.  Also, the other thing that happens is that occasionally, mamewah will just quit when I'm on the main game select screen and spits me back to windows...
