As some of you have probably noticed, I'm
back...I stayed 3 months away in the end, and have been too lazy to update this
page since I got back... Anyway, just added a few nice
cabinets, and
added
MAMEWAH
v0.97
to the downloads
page as people keep asking for it. Finally, added a donate
page - for some reason I can't
get the damn
PayPal link to work properly... I haven't done any work on
MAMEWAH
since I got back...and to be honest I don't intend doing much for a while
- it's summer afterall

MAME Resolution Tool v2.0
released! This is pretty much a complete
re-write with many improvements, get it here.
Note that this has not been tested massively, particularly with
vertical/rotating monitor setups, so please report any bugs to me ASAP
because......I'm going to Oz for 2.5 months as of
26th Feb, so I will not be doing any stuff for that time
. Please feel
free to email me with cabinet pictures, and bug
reports for the MAME Resolution Tool and I will deal with them when I get back
(or before I go if you're quick enough). Please do NOT email me if you
want a reply - I will be paying for any internet time I do get so I will be
ignoring emails with general questions etc. - see the help
page if you want help with something. PayPal donations will be gratefully
accepted however, I expect I will be pretty hard up with a few months off work
 Have fun!

MAMEWAH
v1.61 released! Tiny bugfix release, most importantly fixing a
problem with new versions of
WinIPAC software. Get it here! Also, don't
forget to check out the cabinets
page - I'm updating this all the time... |
|
20/01/05 |
Added a link for
Silver's 'MAME
LCD Gen' program (& updated the FAQ).
Also updated the main downloads with correct ini
files - previously they were out of date (oops!) - thanks to John Crouse for
pointing that out . |
|
18/01/05 |
Updated at last!! I've re-made the
entire website! As you can see it's no more
impressive than before, but it now contains some up-to-date information - see
the features, screenshots
and help pages.
Also it is easier for me to maintain so hopefully it will be updated more
often... I've also added a new cabinets page, which
features users own arcade cabinets running
MAMEWAH
- take a look! Also check out the
updated links. UPDATE:
MAMEWAH
v1.6 released! Quite a biggie, grab it here! BTW, I'm having some timeout
from
MAMEWAH
related stuff for a while, to have a break and also to deal with some other
things going on. While I'll still be knocking around the boards I probably
won't be as active as usual. Have fun!

Found a problem with the registration of the PaintX.dll component when using the system files setup.bat file (thanks AlanK II). If you have problems seeing any PNG's then grab the updated version from the downloads page. Found a handful of small bugs in the latest release, so I am working on fixing those - expect a bug-fix release at the weekend or early next week :)
|
| 07/09/04 |
MAMEWAH v1.5 (finally) released! This one's a biggie! :) Please read the downloads page carefully...get it here!
|
| 03/08/04 |
Looks like I missed my estimated release date from a few weeks back...oh well! Actually this is good news, as in the meantime I have re-written the main config system, and changed some other pretty major things. While I hoped to have everything done by now, I am also about to re-write my entire sound and music code, so it will be a little while yet...
|
| 12/07/04 |
Updated the links page with links to TimO Productions (MAMEWAH layouts / graphics), CrashTest Emulation (excellent M.A.M.E. snapshots among other things), Redump (optimised M.A.M.E. builds and intermediate releases) and Arcade Engine (nice arcade cabinet plans for first time builders). Also, ArcadeVGA M.A.M.E. Resolution Tool v1.02 released! This version updates to take into account M.A.M.E.'s removal of -listinfo in v0.84, also retaining compatibility with older versions. Take a look here or get it here. In MAMEWAH news, I have been re-writing the input code over the past few weeks, improving it to include multiple simultaneous keypresses, mouse & joystick support, and a configuration system not unlike M.A.M.E.'s ctrlr ini files ;) Hopefully this should be ready within 2 weeks or so...

MAMEWAH Setup, a great utility for configuring MAMEWAH (compatible with old versions) :) Also, MAMEWAH now has it's own half-a-message-board - it shares with
ArcadeOS at
MAMEWorld!! Thanks to the chaps for sorting that out :)
|
| 23/10/03 |

(& MP3's) for use with MAMEWAH.
I *think* I have now fixed some problems with this site running on certain browsers (& Macs), please let me
know if you see any problems (images not loading etc.). Thanks to those who pointed out the problems previously...

Just wanted to say well done to all who have created
Custom Layoutsand thanks for sharing them. To help me out, stuzza from the
BYOAC forums has very kindly offered to host the layouts at his site, go get'em here! (Cheers stuzza :) ) I've been making some good progress in bug-fixing and improvements, and I expect the next release to be pretty good, so keep 'em peeled! :)
|
| 30/06/03 |
I just added the FAQ section, which should help with a few questions with the latest beta's. Thanks to Odonadon for compiling that, I should be adding to it as time goes on...Also, I updated the Screenshots section, to reflect the new possibilities using the Layout Designer. Thanks to stuzza and Steve G for submissions so far, I shall be adding these for download soon...if you have a layout you'd like to share, please mail me. I have updated the Links section too, to include sites which I have found particularly useful over the past months. Please report any broken links etc., since I also completely changed the structure of the site (behind the scenes). Oh yeah, and there's MAMEWAH v0.952b
over on the Downloads page...
|

Done the hard work on the multiple artwork thing - just need to add support to the
slide-show screensaver and tie up a few things. Also added PC game/program support :)
|
| 12/03/03 |
OK It's coming along nicely now...finally got around to making the keys
configurable, fixed a very annoying input bug (which doesn't seem to affect many people, only 2 reports + me), got my slide show screen-saver up & running again and also added support for
Howard C's
new EmuSaver wrapper (thanks again Howard) and also external .SCR screen-savers. I still need to add multiple artwork capability, and some other fairly minor things.
In other news: I've been testing the new ArcadeVGA card from
Ultimarc,
which is excellent! Check out some photos here.
You'll be able to setup MAMEWAH in 640x288
in the next release (as in the photos) to prevent the 640x480 interlacing flicker.

Made some good progress over the last week,
MAMEWAH
pretty much fully working again (after a few months of crippled features). Multiple emulator support is now
a lot more flexible, allowing
ClrMAMEPro
style DAT file list generation,
CatVer
support and multiple
M.A.M.E. support. I also ditched the 'Main' / 'Favorites' list approach in favour of 1 Main (non-editable) list and up to 20 custom lists (per emulator). These lists can be generated using filters (which I have also improved) or manually. I added a 'lock' function to stop those damn kids messing up your settings, and
Howard Casto's
wrappers will now work with non
M.A.M.E.
emulators too (thanks Howard :). Screen saver still not working, and I'd like to add support for multiple artwork-types next, along with a handful of loose ends to tie up.

Happy New Year! A bit late I know, but who cares I'm still drinking ;) I've made
a fair bit of progress since last time, except I decided to completely re-write about 90% of my code to make
it more efficient (resource friendly) and easier for me to maintain. It should give some more flexibility
for extra emulators (including alternative
M.A.M.E. builds)
too.
|
| 02/12/02 |
OK after a weeks holiday & large quantities of booze etc ;) I haven't got much
done for the past month... Anyway, getting back into it now & made some good progress over the last few days
- heres some new WIP screenshots!
|
| 22/10/02 |
Thanks to all visitors to this site over the last 10 months, the hit counter
struck 10,000 last week! Quite nice timing for me since I started work on
MAMEWAH exactly 1 year ago :)
Thanks also for a couple of small bugs reported, these should be fixed next release. I'm in the process of
making some fairly major improvements, so watch out for another big next release some time...a little while
away yet tho.
|
| 06/10/02 |
Just been working on some resolution options, meaning you can pick whatever
resolution you want, or simply get MAMEWAH
to stay in your desktop resolution. Note that this will allow
MAMEWAH to be used along with portrait
software, eg PivotPro.
*EDIT* or Radeon Control Panel rotations! Check out a couple of
screenshots, that big list looks cool vertical! :)
|
| 02/10/02 |
Finally
MAMEWAH v0.90
released!! Grab it here! There's a couple of important things to read before
downloading this time so make sure you read it!
|
| 01/10/02 |
Programming finished, just readme to be updated. Check out the new
screenshots!
|
| 28/09/02 |
CatVer
filters up and running, not much left now...
|
| 26/09/02 |
Fixed all known WIP bugs. Added some more event sounds too. Just need to add
filters for game categories (
CatVer
), and revise the readme. I'm guessing all should be ready for
release in a weeks time :)
|
| 20/09/02 |
XP Problem fixed. No real
MAMEWAH news.
|
| 09/09/02 |

|
| 04/09/02 |
Changed the font on this site, to the standard
MAMEWAH font (System). Also adopted the
name 'MAMEWAH' as opposed to
'MAMEWah' for some reason :)
|
| 01/09/02 |
If you haven't already, get to London for the
GameOn
