Want a solution for running only Qbert on mame

SirPoonga:
If you are going to use onboard sound then go with windows 98.  On board isn't usually dos soundblaster compatible.  At least it will be a pain to get working in DOS.

Create a bat file on c:\ that contains
c:\
cd mame
mame qbert

put a shortcut to it in your startup folder and qbert will start.  Granted oyu will see windows for a moment.  If you do a search you should be able to find threads on how to hide windows.

PS- i did download Fraggles boot Cd, and i did run it, but once the main screen game on with ArcadeOS, i was clueless what to do next or how to use it!  If things are not laid out for me pretty clearly, i will get lost.  Getting the Knocker to work would be cool, i had no idea that you could do that!  My knocker is in good working order on the cabinet, so if i could get that to work i would love it.  What would power it, though?  I have several hard drives here at my disposal, when i get home tonight i will install fraggle's on one drive, and windows 98 on the other, i will then try what Youki said,  and also what the others said.  I am pretty sure i can get AtomicFe installed, running my need help.  I just want this to be as simple as possilble, i would like to press power on the pc (which i will wire to a push button on the front) and have it boot directly to a menu that just has the 3 games to choose from, then press the power button or use the controls to shut it down.  I dont want to see windows or have to use a keyboard or anything like that.  Thanks for the help, i truly appreciate it.

I can add a soundcard if that helps, i have 4 open expansion slots that i can use, and sound cards are cheap (i probobly have one here from an old computer)
