Boot CD installs DOS, Vantage, Raine, MAME (1 of 7 versions) and Game Launcher
gonzo90017:
If you add Raine and Vantage that would be great! Raine does run the same games faster than mame. The last dos version is 0.43.2

Good to see this project resurrected. Could you look into setting up a vertical monitor in DOS?

That should be easy with Vantage.
Also Game Launcher and MAME support vertical, see GL's readme here:

(that readme doesn;t represent how I remapped the keys in my boot CD)
-------------------
Anyway, I just tested the new release boot CD on an old computer:
P2 333mhz
32 MB RAM
4 GB HDD
24X CD-Rom
ISA soundblaster sound card, CT2260, Vibra 16
PCI video card, Ct6760, 3D Blaster Banshee
mame .36 optimized for Pentium 2
I installed the boot CD, then used "update" to dump "roms" and "snap" directory from a CD to the MAME directory.
GameLauncher scanned and detected the games
GameLauncher worked fine, except once when I was holding the left arrow key down (to flip through pages quickly) it had a "page fault" and crashed. Other than that it worked a treat. I ran Dig Dug, Elevator Action, and Ghosts n' Goblins.
I unplugged it and then plugged it back in. DOS did not break, it started right up. That is the type of cool "arcade friendly" environment DOS is :)
So, it works! There are still some things to add but it's good.
That $20 computer could now be the engine of an arcade machine, cool huh?
Cheers,
Craig

Could you go into a little more detail on Vantage I have a PIII 760 that I would like to setup in DOS and has a vertical PC monitor. See link in my sig for the project (Dad's Bartop).

Mame can also be run vertically
