Floppy disk MAME

TOK:

My buddy did something in the spirit of this, but for modern hardware. He setup a USB thumb drive with everything on it so he could play classics at work without installing anything to the work PC.

You could also use [AdvanceCD] to make a bootable CD. You can also use it to create a bootable USB drive which is what TOKs buddy may have been using.

Ummon:

I'm doubting it. No need to boot from it when you can just run what you need from it. An FE click away.

Holy crap this pc has been a headache!!!

It is an IBM Aptiva E3N 300mhz with 160 RAM. I have tried Spystyles disk, tinyXP with mame32 and mame0.54, windows 98 with Spystyles MAME, and MAME.54

Every time there is something wonky with the video drivers or something. I got the MAME errors that are described in Spystyles boot disk thread, no matter what I did. In XP, there were ridiculous video card driver errors. In Windows 98, I had a directdraw error in MAME54. I could turn off ddraw to run the games, but they looked like crap and ran smaller than full screen with wonky colors - typical bad video driver behavior. Only thing was the onboard ATI Rage video was working properly according to windows98.

Anyone want to take a crack at getting me up and running. I was considering trying an AdvanceCD boot disk, but don't know if it is worth the CD with my current problems. I'm about to toss this POS PC off a bridge!!!


Oh, and the worst part? I once had this PC working properly with MAME54 and MAMEWAH before changing out to a bigger hard drive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
