| DOS Vantage autostart question |
| (1/1) |
| unix4hire:
I'm building a little DOS machine with Vantage. I will try to use a arcade@home frontend (anything better for this purpose?). After booting the machine how can I get it to go right into the program with no intervention? I don't know if this is possible but someone here surely does! thanks ---Erich |

Quick answer: open C:\autoexec.bat in a text editor and make sure the last line reads C:\arcadeos\arcadeos.exe or points to wherever you put ArcadeOS. If you're not so familiar with DOS it can all be pretty confusing. Here's an exe that you can extract to a floppy disk. It boots straight to GameLauncher (in debug mode) and is set up to run Vantage http://www.wickedretarded.com/misc/vantage-floppy6.exe Essentially, your hard drive should be set up in the same way as this floppy disk. |

I'll give it a try today. |
