Want a solution for running only Qbert on mame
redfivexw:
Oh yeah,
tonight i set up two hard drives, one i used the fraggle boot cd and it has arcade os on it, it boot ups and shows the couple of games that comes with it, no sound, though. I dont know how to get the games into it. I also set up another drive with windows me and Youki's Atomic FE, i cant get that to work either. I am willing to try both setups, but i need more help configuring both. ???

Hi Redfivexw,
For the GDIPlus.dll , if you don't have it already on your system (should be in windows/system32) you can put it here or in the AtomicFE folder.
So describe me what happens when you load Atomic? you downloaded the plug'n play module for mame?
When you run on Atomic , you see the Module selection layout , you choose Mame , and then you should see a category list , and if you select a category AND if you have roms corresponding to that category you should see your games.
Try to go in the Shooter Category , the plug'n play module should display the Game Gridlee .
But in your case, you should'nt use that plug'n play module because you want only Qbert and few other. You don't need to categorize.
So , run the plug'n play manager , disable the Mame module.
Then run : AtomicManager , go on the Folder tab. Fill folder entry and Default Emulator field with your value. Save it as Atomic.cfg , clique on "Set as STart up config".
Then exit, and run Atomic.
Let me know.

When i lauch atomic, i am getting the screen that has the arcade game photo on the left, and the selection bars on the right. The bar has "mame module 1" on it. I press that, it says loading, then it says "no roms found" and "extension." cfg. that is as far as i got. I tried loading atomic on the old pc that i am using for qbert, and also on my main computer (which is much faster) and i get the same result so whatever i am doing wrong i am doing it twice! I will try your suggestion tonight when i get home from work. thanks alot!
youki:
thanks.
I'm going to check that. I have some problem with this module. I made it to fast..
If i find time, i will make a new one better for you , tomorrow . And correct the existing one.
Just a question in what folder did you install AtomicFE?
Just in case, try to keep the default folder.

Interesting thread. I actually just got done building a Multi-Q*bert. As far as games go, you can also run Mello Yellow Q*bert and the harder faster more challenging version. I did not put Congo Bongo on it because you will need to add a jump button. My computer is a bit faster so I went with the advance menu frontend and the latest version of Mame. I did not install the knocker, BUT I did put a sub woofer speaker system in it and it sounds awesome when he he hits the bottom. I was thinking about running PowerMame at some point because it has the Q*bert knocker thing included. So can anyone confirm that Atomic FE can run in a vertical mode at 640x480? Most of the other frontends require the video card to have rotation software. This is why I went with AdvanceMenu, but I have been looking for other options. On a side note, inside the Q*bert sound zip file is a WAV for "I'm turned on". I use this WAV at start-up to make it sound a little more real....
