Booting to Mame or FE
Howard_Casto:
this can only be done one way
you have to set your fe as the shell rather than explorer.exe in the win.ini file.
Brian:
Wow, RD will run a movie..very cool!
Now to figure out how to adjust my .ini file )
Dr. Jay:
Howard: How do you setup the win.ini? I opened it up and this is what I got:
[Desktop_Shell]
Current=Win
I'm in Win98se. I played around with it, trying to set it as the FE's exe, and path, but I don't really understand this.
Thanks, Dr. J
)p(:
Dr J. just replace shell=explorer.exe in your system.ini with shell=your complete path/program.exe

Dr. Jay:
>p<: I tried what you suggested and I must not be doing something right. I tried it with shell=c:\emuwizard.exe. Emuwizard loads up fine in this directory before I change the system.ini. After I change it though, it loaded up to my wall paper, then it tried to load emuwizard, but instead said that no games could be found, and then that windows initialization failed, and then it stopped. I could still move the mouse around, but there were no icons, no right clicking menu, no task bar. So I changed it back in dos and everything boots up normal again. Any ideas? Thanks
