Long history maked short: I strip down and old sharp mv12 laptop to make a mini bartop game,and trew away most of the extra component i wasnt supost to need (the keyboard was one of them) i thought "what the hell, i can use a usb keyboard.." Sure not a problem with that, the problem is, usb keyboard wont work until the OS is loaded, so im stuck with a bare bones laptop that i can not program at all, because xp install wont take the usb keyboard during the blue part setup, so im stuck in there, so my last hope its to program the harddrive with a Dos instalation to i can load dos mame and hopefully the keyboard will respond, but instead of using dos mame, i would rather use some kind of Dos misfitmame so i can load a 4 in 1 pacman game in it.
if someone can help me out to figure out a way to install xp , or dos into this thing, i got everything ready, the mini cab, the controllers,but im stuck with this problem....
