use FREE OS'es. Linux, DOS etc... Just program your code witht the right OS. Thats also one way of protecting if your are wooried about pirating the game.
Heck why not use Joshua OS. Nobody uses that OS (exept Ultracade). I dunno how you can get it.
I'd go for the FREE OS and not worry about pirating. Anything could be pirated.

most things can be twisted and shoved enough to run in Linux...

I believe Sega Lindburgh cabs even run some flavor of Linux before the later platforms with to XPe.

I wouldn't know how to port my code to run on a different OS. Unless that OS can run Windows apps no problem.

Speaking of, I was over at my dad's and he had one of these

Picked it up for about 25$, i believe he said newegg.
Plus with SATA, they're hot swappable. He had a 1TB drive and swapped it out hot with a smaller 500gb he used to use for backup.
Pretty cool. Wish they had em for EIDE, though probably I won't be wishing that for long.
