Well Now Ive done it
<< < (2/4) > >>
SithMaster:
i installed my sound drivers and now it kinda works.  i think mame autostarts in pure dos but you cant see the game but you are at the dos screen showing that the config for sound is correct, c:\mame, and then c:\windows\ or something like that and when i type win it claims a dos based program is still runnning and to exit it so i hit esc and then it loads to windows.  any theories as to why i cant see it now?

edit:sound works fine now in dos mode but i still have to type commands at startup.  heres my autoexec.bat

@ECHO OFF
cd \mame
mame spacduel -soundcard 1
set blaster=a220 I5 D1 T4

what am i missing?  thanks.
SirPeale:
@ECHO OFF
set blaster=a220 I5 D1 T4
cd \mame
mame spacduel -soundcard 1

Try that instead.
SithMaster:
tried it but it still has the problem where it shows

c:\>c:\program.............stuff.........yamaha......setup.ee /s
setup ultity stuff

then
c:\>

microsoft windows 98

c:\windows>

ill try and tinker with it.  thanks.
SirPeale:
So...wait.  Are you doing this on initial boot, or from a command prompt?
SithMaster:
do you mean configuring the autoexec.bat or trying to get the game to run?

i want it to start when you turn the pc on but in dos mode so i wont have windows displaying bootup info

what i meant was even though i have the info in the autoexec.bat it shows the above info instead of starting the game.  i think it may be the drivers for sound since after i installed them it seems like they take precedence over mame.  cuase when i type a command it says its running an app so i think mame is running in the background.

but im trying to go for it starting on bootup in dos.
