Frustrated! Old versions of Mame, etc.
Dougmeister:
Have an older computer (P200, 128 MB RAM), so I pretty much have to stick to either DOS Mame or v0.36 Final of Mame32.
Would prefer DOS Mame 'cause the "Cheat" system in v0.36 Final of Mame32 is rather out-dated, locks up on me, doesn't always display the cheats, etc.
The only front-end I've tried is MameWAH, and it locks up every time I try to start a game. Any ideas?
1) How to get MameWAH working w/ DOS Mame (v0.36 or most recent)?
2) Other front-ends that support rotating games?
Howard_Casto:
If you are running a p 200 then you shouldn't be running windows. Dos mame rarely operates properly in windows (with an extreme amount of care) so you are pretty much stuck sticking with regular mame.
Gamelauncher, which will actually run in dos, supports rotation.

Just set Show DOS Box to 'Yes' (or 1 if you edit the CFG files) - that should do it. I had DOS MAME v0.36 running on my old 333 for a while...
As HC says tho, you would probably be better off in DOS with GameLauncher or ArcadeOS.
Dougmeister:
Thanks, that worked.
The only problem is that the DOS box remains on the screen after the game exits. (You know, "The program has ended", or whatever that prompt says in Win '98?)
Is there a way to address this problem?
