I've Decided on SpyStyle's DOS CD, so What Hardware for Galaga Only Console?
Kaytrim:
There is more information on the CD here...

Yeah, I've seen that thread but I just didn't make the connection right away. I'm under the impression that his is more of an installer to put the stuff on a hard drive while the AMOAD is more of a LiveCD (or LiveFloppy or LiveCF, if you will). Is that about right?

ChadTower:
The cheapest way is probably to use a $15 TV joystick game, with a TV, hacked to your real controls.
Kaytrim:
I don't know anything about AMOAD. :dunno For what you want the hardware setup I mentioned above will be more than adequate. You could get by with a card as small as 64 or even 32 MB if you can find one that small anymore. The CF card replaces the hard disk on the computer. This is a faster device than a floppy and the adapter is for an IDE ribbon cable not a floppy cable. So to the computer it is a hard drive.
Plug the CF card into the primary IDE connector as the master. Install DOS, MAME and the ROM(s) on the CF card (C:\ drive) from your CD Drive. You can then remove any other drives plugged into the motherboard. Take care of the necessary changes to the BIOS and you are golden. :cheers:
One other thing is to edit the AUTOEXE.BAT. The line that starts GameLauncher, the last line needs to be replaced to launch mame with Galaga (mame galag)

Oh! That actually sounds much easier than I had anticipated.
