Mame Game Startup
WBHarrison88:
Hello, This is my first post though I have been reading this forum for several months doing research for my mame cabinet. I've started my project but have question not specifically related to it, just curiosity.
If i wanted to build a cabinet for just one, specific game, would i be able to get Mame to start up and load a specific game after booting?
severdhed:
sure you can do that. will this cabinet be dedicated to only that one game? or will there be many games and you just want that one to load at boot?
WBHarrison88:
Dedicated to only that one game
severdhed:
do you have a pc ready to go already? if there is only 1 game, then you dont need a front end or anything like that. depending on the controls and pc hardware, you could probably set it up with dos, put mame in the autoexec.bat and it would boot ureally quickly...assuming you could get the sound drivers working. if you go with windows, it is still easy to do....i am curious now though...which game?

Yeah PC is setup and ready to go, no FE in installed. Its for Pac Man :)
