Want a solution for running only Qbert on mame

(1/15) > >>

redfivexw:
I have been battling my Qbert arcade machine for about a month now, and am getting sick of it all.  I would like to set up mame to just run qbert and to boot directly to it.  I have an old pc here that i can set up for it, Can anyone tell me exactly how to set up the computer to run a vertical screen mame, with only qbert on it.  I currently have another mame machine running Gameex, and i love it, however gameex does not run vertical, and it is too involved a program for this cabinet.

Actually, if i could have a mini game list, and have qbert, qberts cubes and congo bongo that would be even better (those 3 games all use the 45 degree rotated stick

daywane:
you are running up the same problem ? I have.
mine is ms pac

I can get it to boot up but not flip. vert

Mario:
I expect this would work: install DOS Mame on a DOS-only machine. Update the autoexec.bat file to automatically run mame with the command line set to run Q-Bert in rotated mode.

i just went and read your posts, yes it does look like we are trying to solve the same problem.  Let me know how you make out, i will do the same.  Email me at redfivexw@juno.com.

to Mario:

Any advice or how tos on the dos mame setup.  I can setup windows, and i can setup GameEx front end, and setup mame32, but i have never done anything with DOS, i dont even know where to get dos or how you install it.  But i do have a Celeron 600 computer here that i want to use.  If anyone can give me a how to i would appreciate it, or if someone has the skills, i can send them a hard drive and you set it up for me ;D!  I would be willing to pay a little for the effort.  This is going in a genuine Qbert machine, i have given up on fixing the actual electonics in it, it is too problematic of  a machine for me, however if i could get a PC in there and make it look original, that would be great.  So, what i am looking for is a selection screen that has 3 choices:  Qbert, Qberts Cubes, and Congo Bongo.  I would want the screen to be rotated vertically and just boot right to the screen.  help
