Here are step by step instructions for using the DOS boot disk:

1. Boot from spystyle cd
2. Select 1 "complete"
3. In FDISK, select Y, press enter
4. Choose 3 and delete all partitions
5. Choose 1, 1, Y, esc
6. Reboot computer
7. Boot from spystyle cd
8. Select 1 "complete"
9. Fdisk starts : press enter
10. Press esc to exit fdisk
11. Formatting : y, enter, y, enter
12. Volume label : arcade (or whatever)
13. Choose mame version, press enter
14. Select cpu, press enter
15. Free roms (optional)
16. CD-rom support (yes)
17. Mouse (optional)
18. Sound card (note: Soundblaster ISA works best in DOS mame, available at any shop for $5 I bet)

19. Write down the info, press any key
20. Write down the info, press any key
21. Done - remove CD and reboot
22. Upon reboot Game Launcher is loaded but not yet aware of your roms, so exit it by pressing F12

23. make a CD containing your roms in a folder called "roms" (without quotes) and your snapshots in a folder called "snaps" (without quotes). Insert the CD and type "update" (without quotes).

24. Once it is done copying press 2 to exit, then type "scan" (without quotes) so GameLauncher will learn what roms are present. After, Game Launcher will start, select a game from the list and press enter to launch the game.

Cheers,
Craig

Sweet

I am d/l it now.

I have been using a mame cd like fraggal's but called "Darren's mame cd"


i think its a great idea to allow us to select mame vers.  i also like the idea of a cd/dvd containing a folder for roms and snaps..... the other two versions i have seen require roms or snaps to be in root of cd.


I have not tried this FE so i will be happy to have it so I can give it a whirl.


Well done...

It's a pity mame no longer supports DOS
these boot cds are a great idea.

How hard would it be to create one which could be installed onto a clean XP PC?
