MAMEWAH is a Windows-based frontend for MAME. This latest update contains most bug fixes, though the list is long:
      Bugs Fixed:
    • LCD Display feature did not work
    • Mouse & joystick navigation sensisitivity slightly different for each direction on axis
    • OP_MENU_BACK input occasionally stopped working
    • Emulator-specific music would start after switching emulator even if enable_music 0
    • Preview movie for selected game would not play after list generation
    • Runtime Error 445 would occur if movie clip had no audio
    • Problem would occur when using DAT files with quotes around certain values
    • Longest_played lists wouldn't work
    • Selected game changed after refreshing games list
    • MAMEWAH would appear to hang when launching MAME for the first time on some systems
    • Using WinIPAC feature may have resulted in strange results
    • Screen-saver form specific shortcut inputs would not work
    • Music track related shortcut inputs would not work on options / screen-saver form
    • In slideshow screen-saver, the first image to be displayed wasn't displayed long enough
    • Screen-saver sometimes kicked in too soon after generating list
    • File access problem causes crash (Windows 98)
      Improvements:
    • Improved emulator launching so that powering PC down will cleanly quit emulator and MAMEWAH
    • PC emulator_executable no longer case sensitive
    • Added 'PROGRAM ERROR!' notification when an error occurs
    • All input devices are now released prior to launching emulators/apps/scr screensavers, and re-acquired on return to avoid potential input problems
    • Removed controls.dat viewer specific support
    • Added ability to launch up to 3 external applications, either by shortcut (input) or automatically prior to emulator launch
    We offer this for download in the MAME Frontends section.
