ArcadeOS / z26 Issues

[RetroJames]

ArcadeOS / Z26 questions?  I have three minor issues left with the Moon Patrol cabinet.

1. What is the format of the z26 nms files?

2. I can use ArcadeOS to get into and play z26 but when I hit 'esc' it hangs the system.  I have to reboot the pc to get out again.

3. I noticed some sizeable lag when scrolling through the z26/arcadeos menu like it was having issues displaying the *.png snaps.  Any idea what that is about?

Thanks!

So no one else has to go through what I did to get this working I am tossing
it into the ng void for future ref.

Keywords: z26 long filenames emulator dos short file names nms *.nms .nms
file format atari 2600 emu arcadeos front end console consoles .app *.app
app

Cut and paste this into a file called z26.nms and put it into your root z26

Did you ever figure out that bug that causes Z26 to 'hang' on exit?  I am slowly pulling my hair out here!
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
