Ok, thanks guys.

I'm just now downloading your bootcd


I will try this out.... I think your idea of using DOS is great... as most of these older arcade games are no small, and run on little power.... its amazing, actually.

Yo Spystyle,

I burned the CD you gave us... now here is where I'm still at a loss.... After setting up a brand new 120 gig HDD on my older Pentium PC, your boot CD mentioned something about needed to create a partion, or activate one.. also something about taking advantage of large HDD size?   I was getting lots of errors, messing with it... I finally formatted the drive again, and installed your boot CD... this time, saying YES to large HDD size deal, creating a partition and making it active was done.. then followed the prompts.. I just installed MAME... and went with .75 versoin, as I have all the roms for .78  ... after all said and done... I decided to just boot to the HDD now, and it loads up the MAME intro screen, and goes to the GAMELAUNCHER screen... now here im lost again, as it shows games in a list, yet when I press enter on one, screen goes black and stays there... can CTRL-ALT-DEL out of it.  Also, I rebooted again, back to game launcher screen, and pressed F12... Gamelauncher , i think closes, then goes to black screen, and not a dos prompt...


Anyhow.. am I missing something, or did I installed it all wrong?  I was going to try to "UPDATE" and put roms into the ROMS folder, but got an error about the drive... something about Abort, Fail or Retry..

Thanks...  If I can get this sorted out, what a great setup and so tiny.  Thanks again for your work on helping on and putting this all together.

Well be sure to read the readme, that's full of goodness.

After that if you get an error with "update" the type :

edit update.bat

While you're at the C:> prompt.

and change the drive letter to match your CD-ROM drive.

Gee I don't even remember how to work this crazy thing :) It's been a while. I'll install it on a "virtual machine" so I can support you.

Good luck!
Craig

Hi

How do I determine myCDROM drive letter is DOS?

Right now I know I have drive "C" which is where all your goodness was installed..


Thanks

GameTech:
Hey one more thing...

Would it be easier to add the ROMS into the ROMS folder simply by hooking up the HDD via USB to another PC (where I have the roms located) and dump into the folder, thus skipping the buring of CD's and doing the "update" on your dos setup?
