MS Pac on start up. (all is working :) )
daywane:
I am setting up a MS PAC cab. Wife is being kinda anal about this one. ::)
If I could just figure out how to make it boot right to Ms PAC . I would be so happy.
all she wants is Ms PAC
I allmost tossed in a console but we want a vertical screen
I have never used Mame for dos. Never used dos before eather.
can I tell Mame to load MS PAC on start up?
can I tell Mame 32 to load Ms PAC on start up?
I do not care if the GUI shows up at first and then boots up MS PAC.
youki:
If it is to play only ms pac man. The dos is the simpliest i think.
Install dos on your machine
Install your Dmame
youki:
On window, you can say MAME32 or MAME to start on Pacman too.
There is lot of solution , one can be to do .BAT too.
I suppose your mame is in C:\mame and the .Exe is called mame32.exe
Open the nodepad.
Type :
C:
cd \
cd mame
mame32.exe roms\pacman.zip -skip_disclaimer -skip_gameinfo
Save the file and give the name : Pacman.bat (for instance)
With windows explorer, select the file , right click, select copy.
Then right click on the "start" menu of windows. Select "Explore" , find the folder called "Start up".
Right click, select "Paste".
Now when you boot, you will be directly on Pacman.
JoyMonkey:
You should consider using Vantage instead of Mame. You could fit Vantage and the mspacman rom on a bootable floppy disk; so you wouldn't even need a hard drive. The only tricky part would be setting up your sound card. If you want to try it out, I can email you a bootable floppy image (without the rom of course) that's set up to run Vantage immediatley on boot up; just let me know what kind of soundcard you'll be using.

Thanks guys.
Give me a few days to get the old crapy PC going and will give it a go.
