Kawaks Map

[AngelicPenguin]

I have a set of Kawaks roms that I downloaded from pleasuredome. I think these use the same roms as MAME, but they are just listed by their ROM name. My understanding was there was information in the installation of GameEx that maps these names in MAME and other supported emulators (i'm assuming those *.mdb databases and MAP files.) Is there an easy way to do this for my Kawaks set?

btw, I tried to search for Kawaks "MAP", but since map was under 4 letters it wasn't allowed.

Thanks,

Matthew

I don't think Kawaks is built in like Model2 or Zinc. I think you have to set it up like any other emulator (NES, Genesis, etc.) so that it has it's own menu item.

AngelicPenguin -

Map files can be found here, and bkenobi is correct it has to be setup independently of Mame.

Thank you, that was exactly what I was looking for. I assumed somebody would have created the maps by now

Hey Nologic, you still got the kawaks map files?

The files have gone from the link you have posted.

Would be great if you could repost them

[Nologic]

heh what you talking about that link is fine.

Hey Guys,

I have installed this into GameEx with WinKawaks v1.59. It runs great but I just have one issue.

It kicks off in Full screen mode but I get a flickering border "window"... That is I get the windows info (prog name....... minimize/max/close) showing on the screen and it flickers.

It actually seems to be alternating on each screen refresh - If I keep pausing then I can see the window as normal and then no window.

The game runs fine but the border - especially the flickering - is a little distracting.

Has anybody else experienced this? Any ideas?

Yeah I've seen it before...typically it has to do with your video settings for WinKawaks...try disabling triple buffering...after that change blitters.

Cheers Nologic....

I think I was just being a bit silly... I tested winkawaks full screen on my PC.. Then installed on the arcade and tested in windowed mode :-s

Anyway, I found that the setting that needs to be changed is:

Video \ correct full screen ratio \ stretch to full screen

All of the blitters seem to work and triple buffering does too
