Dos 6.22 setup question
« on: February 26, 2006, 01:27:26 pm »
Got a CF that I setup with DOS 6.22, MAME .36,and Gamelauncher. It works ok but it's booting up a little slow (from power-up).
I've seen some sites that have Autoexec and Config examples of what I should have, but those are people are using DOS under WIn98 so not sure I can use them for my setup.
Here's mine as of now:

Config :

DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DOS=HIGH,UMB
FILES=40
BUFFERS=40

Autoexec:

@ECHO OFF
SET CTCM=C:\CTCM
C:\CTCM\CTCU /S
C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.EXE /X
C:DOS\FASTVID 011 8 D1000000
CLS
PROMPT $p$g
PATH C:\DOS
SET TEMP=C:\DOS
SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T2
CLS
CD GLAUNCH
GLAUNCH

Let me know if there's anything I should change or add to make a difference. The computer is an old one, a HP 333mhz 64 ram (I think) no cdrom no floppy no mouse.
The games run fine and load fine, it just takes too long for the computer to load into Gamelauncher.

Thanks

I'd remove the CD-Rom driver, since you won't be using it that often once everything is set up (unless you're using it to store roms or something). If you do need to use the cd-rom at some point you could always set it up with a seperate bat.

Oops I copied the wrong config and autoexec files  :P
Here's what I'm using :

Config :

DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DOS=HIGH,UMB
FILES=40
BUFFERS=40

Autoexec:

@ECHO OFF
SET CTCM=C:\CTCM
C:\CTCM\CTCU /S
C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.EXE /X
C:DOS\FASTVID 011 8 D1000000
CLS
PROMPT $p$g
PATH C:\DOS
SET TEMP=C:\DOS
SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T2
CLS
CD GLAUNCH
GLAUNCH

Also xmsdsk, is that a command that I change in the autoexec or a program I have to download?

Shameless bump  ;D

Also how do you edit the game names in Gamelauncher to not show the info on parenthesis ??   --- example : Moon Patrol (Williams)

Alex-

Can't help you with GL, but here's a great resource for setting up DOS for running mame:

Edit the MAP file for whatever emulator you're using, it should contain the rom names, followed by what you'd like that rom to be displayed as.
For example, open up mame.map and edit the mpatrolw line so it reads:
Code: [Select]
mpatrolw "Moon Patrol"
