load mame into your cabinents? do you just boot into windows, linux then go into mame? im trying to figure out a way to just load mame without a os, beacuse why waste the room on the hd. does arcadeos do this, or is it not really an os and runs inside windows? thanks |
| AlanS17:
You need an OS - which one you use is up to you. You can have the PC automatically load a "frontend" like ArcadeOS, though, after it has started. That's a program that organizes your ROMs so you can pick one and play it. Since MAME is command-line, it needs a graphical user interface to select games. |
| Goz:
Load an OS is the appropriate answer and the best solution. I don't have the URL handy, but you can google it or search here or MAMEWORLD and it should come up. If you are looking for a single classic game, then theres the ARCADE ON DISK project which is a DOS boot disk (floppy) that houses the basics for DOS and a ROM and starts the game. Good Luck, -Goz |

I bet you are, take a look at www.litepc.com and read about "98lite slim" (it's free if you have an old win98se and win95a or b disks lying around) that + MAME32 and you'll have a real easy setup, totally N00B friendly. Get stumped ? fell free to e-mail me spystyle@yahoo.com Dig it ? Craig |
