Eliminating the Windows DOS screen..
Hoopstar:
I am using (at this early testing stage) ArcadeFX as my front end - I have also been testing a couple of other FE and they all seem to do the same annoying thing.. when a game is launched, the DOS window appears distroying the illusion that my "real" arcade machine is actually a ---smurfy--- Micro$oft Windows based computer. ::)
Is there any FE or settings I can change to eliminate this window..?
Cheers

Are you using DOS MAME? First make sure you have Windows Commandline MAME.
Most cab FE's can get rid of that Window: MAMEWAH and I'm sure Dragon King, Kymaera & 3dArcade...

Contradiction: MAME32 is not Windows Commandline MAME...
I don't know how MAME32 reacts in the FE's I mentioned, but I would still recommend Windows Commandline MAME (www.mame.net).

Simple solution: MAME32 is DOS MAME! That's why. I've heard this mistake over 1000 times. If MAME has a frontend included with it, as MAME32 is, THEN ITS NOT DOSMAME!
Agh..
