Auto Start MAME? Old school builder needs comp advise, thanks!

<< < (2/5) > >>

kansastj:
From what I have been reading about Front Ends is they will allow you to shut down, but they really don't explain how to auto start the front end when the computer is started.  Is there an auto start folder in XP that I can drop the Icon in and every time the comp is started, I'm ready to go?

FhM:
You can drop a shortcut in Start Menu > programs > Startup

kansastj:
OK new problem, I didn't check the sound on this old Gateway, I just assumed it worked.  My sound when playing a game echoes and isn't right, what can I do to resolve this? 

I'm gonna try the start folder and give it a test run, thanks for the help.

I use Glaunch, and it does not give you the option to shutdown on exit.
But I wrote an app that will start it for you then when you quit glaunch, The Launcher will give you the option to go into windows or shutdown the machine.
It also uses a shutdown screen that you can make yourself using paint. (A windows graphical program.)
You will still need to place a shortcut to The Launcher in the start up folder.
Check out the website I have for it, read the readme.txt file. It might help you even if you dont decide to use The Launcher.

you probably need a driver. Search the web for drivers for your model of machine.
