Give me a few days to get the old crapy PC going and will give it a go.

FYI, I found this site very valuable when setting up my dos base Pole Position cab (boot directly to Pole Position):

http://www.mameworld.net/dosmame/

Lots of info no matter if you know DOS or not.....Good Luck.

There is lot of solution , one can be to do .BAT too.

I suppose your Mame is in  C:\mame   and the .Exe is called mame32.exe

Open the nodepad.

Type :
C:
cd \
cd mame
mame32.exe roms\pacman.zip  -skip_disclaimer -skip_gameinfo

Save the file and give the name :  Pacman.bat (for instance)

With windows explorer, select the file , right click, select copy.

Then right click on the "start" menu of windows. Select "Explore"  , find the folder called "Start up".

Right click,  select "Paste".

Now when you boot, you will be directly on Pacman.

OK I did as above
I had to remove the "-skip_disclaimer -skip_gameinfo" part
I guess mame 56 can not do this
works if I have this in a .bat file in start up folder

C:
cd \
cd mame
mame32.exe roms\pacman.zip

only problem I have is
my monitor is on its left side.
pivot pro rotated to 270 deg.

Mame starts up fine , but the ROM will not rotate.

If I start Mame with out the .bat file , Mame 32 is rotated and I have the display properties rotated clockwise
every thing works fine

I do not mind the hit any button part. I really would like to have the .bat file to work with a rotate. Like I said above, I can live with the hit any button to start game.
i like how I can hit escape and the game menu is there, but Ms PAC starts up 1st thing for my wife

HI,

I don't really know mame 0.56.

But may be you can try to put :

mame32.exe roms\pacman.zip -ror    (or -rol)

or

mame32.exe roms\pacman.zip -autoror    (or -autorol)

Or let your .bat as it is. create a INI directory , an a pacman.ini file with :

ror 1

(or rol , autoror, autorol)

I will try
mame32.exe roms\pacman.zip -ror    (or -rol)

or

mame32.exe roms\pacman.zip -autoror    (or -autorol)
after work
Yawn only 3 hrs sleep  :-\
if i end up doing a ini
do I just make a folder called ini?
put a text in it with note pad

ror 1

(or rol , autoror, autorol)
do i save it as mspac.ini ?
never worked with ini files (one of the reasons I never fooled that much with command line type mame
youki:
Yes, just create a ini folder under the place where is your mame.exe

create the file called <romname>.ini  ,  if your rom is pacman.zip, the ini file must be pacman.ini

If your rom is mspacman.zip , the ini file must be mspacman.ini

And in the ini file just type with the notepad  :


--- Code: ---ror 1

--- End code ---

save and quit.

(be sure that the ini file is a .ini  , and not a  .ini.txt  (sometimes notepad can add the .txt))
