Fantastic tutorial, Craig. I created my MAME-XP CD, and I am going to try it out this weekend.
Thanks!

Hi Craig. Thanks alot for the tutorial. I have a few questions though. 1.) When i copied my xp cd to the xp cd folder it is bigger than yours (>600Mb). I'm using XP Pro Corporate but it has service pack 2 integrated so maybe that explains the extra size ? Would it be "cleaner" if i tried to remove the sp2 files before integrating sp3 ? If so, i don't know which files to remove. 2.) The driverpacks structure has changed i think. I cannot see the 10 individual 7zip files in the folder like you said but instead i have one 7zip file (DP_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32_805) - what do i do here ?
Cheers,
ian.

There are folders on the 'retail XP CD' that are safe to delete if you want to have a smaller overall size. Comparing my 'retail SP2 disk' to my 'MAME-XP disk' I think the following are safe to delete :
d:\docs (7 KB)
d:\dotnetfx (40 MB)
d:\support (13 MB)
d:\valueadd (3 MB)
d:\I386\COMPDATA (700 KB)
d:\I386\DRW (200 KB)
d:\I386\LANG (100 MB)
d:\I386\WIN9XMIG (2 MB)
d:\I386\WIN9XUPG (4 MB)
d:\I386\WINNTUPG (800 KB)

No - SP3 contains SP1, SP2 and of course, SP3. So starting with SP0, SP1, or SP2 should have the same result ... I think

That is incorrect - each driverpack is represented by a single 7zip file - if you only have "DP_MassStorage" that means you only have a single driver pack - specifically the one for mass storage.
The folder should have these 7zip files :
DP_ChipSet
DP_CPU
DP_Graphics_A
DP_Graphics_B
DP_Graphics_C
DP_MassStorage
DP_Sound_A
DP_Sound_B
If you intend to add driverpacks to home computer OS, rather than just MAME computer OS, the following driverpacks should also be present :
DP_LAN
DP_WLAN
\3rd party DriverPacks\DP_Modem
Cheers,
Craig

Thanks Craig for the info. I don't think Google threw up exactly what i was looking for - sorry, i should of followed up on it a bit more. I went ahead and created an iso. I noticed i have a few more files in my $OEM$\$1\ folder than you have (although i changed one or two options). Does this look abnormal. Thanks.
