Ever hear of Arcade machine on a disk?

You can fit an entire vantage program as well as arcadeos FE (with roms and snaps and samples) onto one cd easily--just need to come up with batch programs to run them--maybe its not doable but it seems like it should work...

SirPeale:

One CD, sure, that's easy.  Heck, up until v. 70 or so you could fit 90% of the ROMs (mostly the clones, not some acutal games that could be played) on one CD with exe and other stuff.

Like Peale said, AMOAD is about being able to play the game off a single FLOPPY drive.

Of course now that many new computers don't even HAVE floppies . . .

My motherboard supports boot from USB I will try to see if it works with my flash disk.

I homebuilt both of my PCs, i included a floppy on neither of them =P  i see them as useless really, only thing you would need it for is if your computer died or something and u needed a boot disc but you can boot from CDroms now so... yeah. I got a portable usb2 flash stick with 256MB of space for small files and CDRWs and burners on both for big files. floppys are going out, just like those old giant floppys did hehe
