"Stripped" or PE windows XP build
SoundDoc:
Thanks, I haven't had a chance to even look at Mamewah yet, as I've been busy working on the cab, but from what I've been reading on the boards its the way to go for a front end. (plus, why read when you've got the attention of the guy who wrote it? ;) )
If I only spent half as much time doing as I do thinking, I'd have 10 cabs built by now! ;D
I've got a spare machine sitting on my desk at the moment, time to see what I can come up with.....

My 2 cents..... I'm not so sure this is a good idea. In principal it works, but you never know when a game/app you are running on your cab is gonna need this obscure dll or add-on that the pe build doesn't include. Imho it's a much better idea to make a full install and then remove what you are sure you won't need using common sense and the guidance of blackviper.com. Afterall harddrive space isn't the issue here, it's bloated processes/start up apps wasting space. It's much better to turn off thing than remove them completely. Because if you screw up, you can turn them back on just as easily. :)
