Mamewah Ini

This is how the ini system works: MAMEWAH uses three main types of ini config files; mamewah.ini (main/global settings), emuname.ini (emulator-specific settings), and emuname-?.ini (list-specific settings, where ? is the list no.).

mamewah.ini is auto-generated/updated when you run MAMEWAH, and resides in \mamewah.

To generate emuname.ini or emuname-?.ini, simply place suitably named text file(s) in the \mamewah\ini folder (eg mame.ini, mame-0.ini, mame-1.ini etc.), and run MAMEWAH. The ini files will be automatically populated/updated with default settings. You must have emuname.ini for each emulator you require, and the number of lists available is determined by however many emuname-?.ini files you have (emuname-0.ini will be the main, non-filterable list).
