Boot CD installs DOS, Vantage, Raine, MAME (1 of 7 versions) and Game Launcher

Groovy :)

Ok I've just been thinking. Are we sure GameLauncher is the best front end to be using? ArcadeOS seems like a much more popular choice. Why did you choose GameLauncher?

My cabinet arrived and I am going to configure every emulator to work with the default MAME controls (which happen to be the same as Ultimarc's J-Pac). Once I've configured everything I'll make a boot disc to set it all up automatically. Then I'll upload the ISO for everyone to use :)

I'm thinking the reason he used GL was because of it's looks. I know that's why I like it. It gets away from that "windowsy" look. Is there a way to make it an option step on the boot CD whether or not to use GL or ArcadeOS?

I know you said earlier that you took out the options to install different emus. Are you not liking them? I know I like the choices, just curious.

Nevermind just re-read your post. I misunderstood what you did.

By the way thanks for working on this. It's really an awesome CD that's way under appreciated around here.

I thought GameLauncher was a more simple interface. I also like the look. The DOS CD is supposed to be very simple and intuitive. I felt ArcadeOS was complex.

Adding an option to use GL or AOS is possible by modifying the file DOS.BAT from the CD, though it would be a chore.

That's what's cool about "open source", everyone can make their own version.

The new OS I like for the arcade machines is a super stripped XP that I make with Nlite:

I use it on P3's but Dana tells me he used it on a 200mhz P1.

Good luck,

I think I agree about the look, so I'm happy to stick with Game Launcher. To be honest, ArcadeOS doesn't have anything more then Game Launcher other then better documentation.

Also, I'm going to be putting the software in my cabinet soon, which means all the frequencies will need to be changed to 15Hz. This is easy to change, but will it mean the standard PC monitor won't be able to display the image? Maybe there will need to be an option for both if 15Hz wont work on a standard monitor

[edit]
Just realized, does Zsnes and Genecyst even allow you to change the video frequency? If they don't then it means you will need specialist hardware anyway in order to display this on an Arcade monitor which renders an option to choose how they are configured useless...
