[david656]

hi im new to MAME and for the life of me cant figure out how it works.

what operatin system do i need and where is the best place to download it for that operating system

i need to try and get hold of the original arcade version of crystal maze whats best to play that and where can i get both of these items

Answering your questions in order. 

1.  Rtfm. 

2.  Almost any os runs mame.  www.mame.net (this is where the manual is btw)

3.  NO ROM REQUESTS  Also I've never heard of crystal maze. It isn't listed on klov and it isn't in mame.  Crystal Castles perhaps?

Read rule #5:

(And get acquainted with the other rules, too.)

[Howard_Casto]

I for one expect you to get banned very soon if you don't improve your attitude. 


There is absolutely nothing wrong with minwah expressing his opinion of the game as long as he is also willing to help you (which he did).  Be a little more grateful next time.

And not to jump on the band wagon here, but please use punctuation.  It's hard to read where one thought stops and another starts.

What are you trying to do with this machine?  In one thread you want to mame it, in this thread you want the original board.
