| running mame from dos prompt on winxp |

| taskmagee:
I'm trying to set up dos to start running mame when i open it from windows xp. I know it can be done on the older windows versions through the dosstart.bat file. I can't seem to figure it out for xp. Can any one help with this. Thanks, Kenny |

i'm not sure i follow you. are you trying to get mame to run as soon as windows starts? or something else? |
| ahofle:
Why not just run a MAME batch file instead of running a DOS prompt and then auto-starting MAME? ??? You can't 'Shut down to DOS prompt' in XP like in win95/98 if that's what you are talking about. It might help if you describe what exactly you are trying to accomplish. |

I want to run mame in a dos only system. I want mame to start up as soon as you turn on the computer, but before I put it in a spare computer that I have, I want to make sure I can get it to work. |

The only way you can do that is to dual boot your system or make a bootable floppy disc or cdrom with dos (and mame, roms ect..) on it. You cannot run dos within xp because xp doesn't have a dos mode. |
