DOS Vantage autostart question

(1/1)

unix4hire:
I'm building a little DOS machine with Vantage.  I will try to use a arcade@home frontend (anything better for this purpose?).  After booting the machine how can I get it to go right into the program with no intervention?  I don't know if this is possible but someone here surely does!  thanks ---Erich

Yeah, that's what I meant.  oops. ???

JoyMonkey:
Quick answer: open C:\autoexec.bat in a text editor and make sure the last line reads
C:\arcadeos\arcadeos.exe
or points to wherever you put ArcadeOS.


If you're not so familiar with DOS it can all be pretty confusing.
Here's an exe that you can extract to a floppy disk. It boots straight to GameLauncher (in debug mode) and is set up to run Vantage

Essentially, your hard drive should be set up in the same way as this floppy disk.

Thank you very much!  I'll give it a try today.
