nLited XP installs for a cab
IG-88:
OK. I will try that and let you know what they do.
IG-88:
Tried it. All I get is the "NTLDR is missing" error. Shouldn't that be on the Boot Disk?
spystyle:
That's funky...
Try this boot disk:
http://ephemeral-designs.com/downloads/boot98c.exe
and make sure your computer is set to boot from floppy drive.
If all your floppys are fragged, you can use Nero to make a boot CD from floppy image - I can e-mail you the floppy image.
Cheers,
Craig

While you were replying I tried this

and got it to work. I am now at the A: prompt. I'll try the scandisk thing and get back after a while.

It uses about 11 MB RAM.

That's great news! I started playing with Mala a month or so ago after getting too frustrated with MameWah. I think Mala looks great and, as you said, I got it set up quickly and easily.

I set it up with Mame .55 and I know I did something tricky to do it.... I think I just pointed it at a newer version of mame or something. Let me see if I have any notes. This is what I said I did:
--- Quote ---I downloaded a mame.exe executable from v 1.09 which DOES allow creation of the mame.xml file.
Then I deleted the 1.09 mame.exe and moved the new mame.xml file to the mame.55 directory.
Right-clicking in the MaLa window brings up a pop-up menu where you can select ‘options’ and get everything working correctly.
- I went to the “options” page, checked off the box about only listing available roms and then clicked “OK”. NOW it asked me if I wanted to refresh my game list (which is empty) and I said yes.

Don't know if that makes sense, but that's how I must have gotten it working.
