DOS 6 is what I have on it. Another option is FreeDos and I know there are other, equally fine, alternatives. But Windows is not an alternative! My cab boots to the ArcadeOS game screen in less than 15 seconds. When I exit ArcadeOS, I just click the power button and the cab is safely shut down. If you aren't a DOS expert, do I like I did and find a buddy who works for beer. :) |

Um, my beer drinkin' buddies know even less than I do when it comes to this stuff. They just figured out the touch-tone phone thing. What kind of beer do you like? ;) |

Listen. DOS is what they used to teach in Computing 101 class. If newbies can be taught it, then a Windows user can be taught it. All it is is simple commands to do things, like: COPY RENAME MD (make a directory) CD (change directory) .. (back up one directory) etc it will take you all of 2 hours to get up to speed. Just don't touch the 'FORMAT' command ;D |

Good point. Well I guess it's off to see what I can find out about it.... |

The hardest part of DOS is finding sound and video drivers for your hardware. Realize also that you don't have hardware stretch available in DOS, so you'll want a driver that provides a large number of low-res options. This means Scitech Display Doctor. |
