Would it be just easier and snag a copy of tiny Xp to use with a paid license key?

I can see your configuration, but you cannot beat a 150MB installed footprint that runs like the devil on 256mb memory and a 1ghz processor.  MAME just flies.

Also I think this thread should be stickied, as there are alot of good advice from dot, for those who want to edit their own home installations.

Good advice is hard to find these days.

Thanks for sharing dot.

dot, you should look at nLite if you haven't already.  You could work all your registry tweaks in as well, and would end up with a disc you'd just have to throw in and can even set it to be unattended during install, so you just toss the disc in, come back half an hour later, and bam, you've got MAME! 

If you're any good at simple programming, I'm almost certain you could set up a silent install of your FrontEnd too.

Nice spotting Drew.

Yes I have been trimming it down, getting rid of all those extras that are not needed.  I located a working ramdrive file from Win2K which I use for the swap, even though I have gigs of space on the drive.  I have two builds on the cab - one with ram swap - the other via the hard drive.

There was an attempt to get XP working on a pen drive nearing 128mb, that only boots with Damn Small Linux, but doesn't boot with a XP loader.  I tried using Barts pendrive installation with the Win2K ramdrive, which proved fruitless.

Whatcha think Drew? DSL with Mame on 128mb pendrive, is it possible?
