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

Well I have received many e-mails about this disk, I am pleased it is working for some, but others are having trouble with the ISO
How to burn the ISO:
Download burn4free*, it's free. Install it, then go to add/remove programs and uninstall it's toolbar. The program remains
start burn4free, click: drive > burn iso
use it to burn the ISO "as" a disk
some users accidentally burn it "to" a disk using other programs, that is why I recommend burn4free
Cheers,
Craig

Thanks for an awesome disk Spystyle! :applaud:
I've managed to get it all up and running on a couple of old Pentium II machines I had lying around at work. Had a few issues trying to get some old creative ISA sound cards working with the default settings from the cd but after running the drivers setup program in the dosdrv directory managed to get them to work!
I've got mame 0.55 setup but am wondering if anyone knows how to get a smaller list of games in Gamelauncher? I've tried using the GameLauncher (http://hem.passagen.se/robert.palmqvist/Downloads/downloads.html) Mame tool and mame content manager, however they seem to need a catver.ini file which only goes back to 0.56?
Anyone know how I can create a Gamelauncher list of just a few hundred classic games that will run on a PII with maximum 3 buttons?? Also anyway to remove the OK screens and warnings from old dos mame version without having to recompile?

Glad you like the disk! I hope it makes DOS easy :)
As for the roms - You can sort the roms on your regular computer before putting them on your cab.
Cheers,
Craig

Care to elaborate on how exactly you did that? (the drivers setup program) I need some help in this area also! ;D

In the SB16 folder there is a progam called "diagnose.exe". I ran that and it goes through autoscanning your sound card - be careful though, the first time I did it I overwrote the entire autoexec.bat file with another, I think the key was to go through all the setup then F3 exit out before it modifies all the files or something. - I'll check the exact process tomorrow.
Anyway, it turned out that the settings I needed for my Soundblaster ISA card (model CT4170) in the autoexec.bat file are:
SETBLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H1 P330 T6
Which is slightly different to the line which the CD autoloads.
Hope this helps.
