PS Fozzy I just bought them all from Hoots off of eBay. $2.99 a game! Sweet!

Glad you got your games.....
Yes, you can just copy them to the hard drive they run perfectly well and have no protection scheme.
Yes, there is a way to load them up from your front end, and have them start up full screen instead of in a box at 320X240
Cananas wrote a little launcher that you can run from your front end to start them up in the correct mode. You need to google for a copy of a program called AutoHotkey run the following script in it and then use AutoHotkey to create an .exe file. start that file from your front end and all will be good! This will start them up at full screen and when you re-load the gun it will not drop the cursor to the bottom corner.
--- Code: ---Run,mdm.exe ; Run MadDog McCree
IfWinNotExist,Mad Dog McCree
{
winwait,Mad Dog McCree,,100
WinActivate,Mad Dog McCree
Send f ; Fullscreen
Send r ; reload don't move the cursor down
return
}
else
{
WinActivate,Mad Dog McCree
Send f ; Fullscreen
Send r ; Reload don't move the cursor down
return
}
*1::Send {LControl}; like LControl starts the game I remap to the '1' key
*Escape::
Send !{F4} ; Press ALt+F4 to exit
ExitApp ; Kill this script
return
--- End code ---
After you use AutoHotkey to create the exe Mamewah is quite happy to run it and start them up full screen.
Alternatively, you can use the ALG Launcher program written by Eric Rudd... that has the same result but lets you launch any ALG game and sets them up properly with only a single launch program. Here's the link for that:

rdowdy95:
Once I get the little .exe file created do you know how I would get Mamewah to load the little list of new .exes I made? Also I guess I would need to try the thing called change emulator or something.
Which program do you use to do your stuff in Fozzy do you run the autohotkey thing or just the l;auncher program that guy made. The second one seems pretty easy.
rdowdy95:
I am going to attempt to use the second program and try to get it to work in Mamewah. I don't nknow how the generate list thing will work though. I wonder if there is a way I can just add game, then type in like C:\Program Files\MDM\MDM.exe or to that kind of extent. Where actually I would type in ALGlauncher\alg.exe mDM or something like that. Can MAMEwah do something like that once I have the ini-s all fixed up. Just click on add game. Cause I don't think there is a way to generate a list with the ALG launcher. I don't know I will have to tinker with it.
torez:
Ah, Hoots Loot ... they charge little for a cd (because noone is buying them), but then stiff you on shipping and handling. Be careful and only get the stuff you really need. A while back I ordered about 40 cdroms (no boxes, just plastic or paper sleeve) and they wanted about $160+ for shipping it plus the cost of the cds. Long story short, I got quite a few strikes for that one. They called that "combined shipping" :banghead:
patrickl:
is there a difefrence between the games on hoot costing 2.99 and the ones costing 1.90?
