| has anyone here compiled DOS mame? |

| destructor:
Yes, no needed to compile. Download it and run. |
| Grasshopper:
I'd recommend using AdvanceMAME for dos as it gives you much greater control over your graphics card. It also comes with all the Linux sound and graphics card drivers built in. So there is no need to load any separate dos drivers. |

ok, for now ive conceded defeat with DOS. i have had success with a really early version of mame32, so early it has pong on it! the speed for the old classics is fine so ill stick with that if i can overcome a seemingly small problem. i would realy like to set it up to go straight into a game. here is something i cut and pasted from somewhere some time ago: Ok guys I got it I actually found a old thread on doing it for pacman. In case anyone want to see how its done: On windows, you can have MAME32 or MAME to start on Pacman. I suppose your mame is in C:\mame and the .Exe is called mame32.exe Open the notepad. Type : C: cd \ cd mame mame32.exe roms\pacman.zip -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. only this old laptop uses win95. should i actually be doing something in the autoexec.bat instead? |
