Hi I am trying to get ArcadeOS to start up automatically by itself when I turn on my computer. I also want my computer to shut down when I exit ArcadeOS so I will never see Win98 at all. Does anyone know what I have to do exactly to do this?

ArcadeOS is a DOS program. You may want to consider using MameWAH instead. And for that, you'll change the shell from win.com to mamewah.exe

Would I have to Delete ArcadeOS before i install Mamewah?

You can if you want to, it's only a concern if drive space is at a premium.

Hi there, if you run arcadeOS in dos its possible to get your machine to boot stright into arcadeOS, never seeing WIN98. you need to add a couple of lines to your autoexec.bat file and change your MSDOS.SYS file.
1. Go to C: and change your folder to view all files.
2. open MSDOS.SYS in notepad and change the BOOTGUI=1 to BOOTGUI=0
3. In your autoexec.bat file add the lines:
CD C:\ARCADEOS
ARCADEOS
CLS
This should boot your computer stright into arcadeOS in around 5 seconds. I have added a small program to my arcadeOS folder called "ATXOFF" that I found while searching the net, if you add the line: ATXOFF with this program in the folder the machine shuts down and windows is invisible.
hope this helps.

How would I go to C: and change my folder to view all files?
