Visitor Q:
I am running Game Ex and HyperSpin both on Vista 64, zero issues.
As far as Emualtors, FreeDO is the only thing so far that has gave me any sorta problems.

Unfortunately I dont have a set list of exactly what I did, as I was trying all sorts of things. I first started with these steps.
I basically had to manually register the files. I went back and forth checking the log and then trying to get those files that it reported not working to work.
I do know the last thing I did was I copied paintx.dll and mscomm32.ocx into the c:\windows\syswow64 directory, then registered them from the command prompt using regsvr32.exe while in the directory.
I hope that helps, but the combination of moving the files around manually to the syswow64 file and manually registering it I am sure is what finally got it working. Right now I have no problems running it.
If you need me to check anything on my system, feel free to ask, Ill do what I can to help out. I really meant to post a "how-to" after I got it working, because I was so relieved when I did, but that fell by the wayside... :'(

Another vote for AtomicFE on Vista - works great, no issues...

Thanks I will have a look ;)
--- Quote ---there are two reasons for me wanting to go with vista, first and most importantly is the speed factor, vista 64 is supposed to be like 30% faster. Second is that if we like it or not vista is the future for Mame and everything else PC so if I can make it workable might as well get used to it now
having said all that if I can't make it workable I'll definitely "upgrade" to XP

Not sure I can relate to your logic here.
Vista is a 'dud' OS IMHO. My bet is on the next version. Win98SE and WinXP are the only half decent versions of windows I have used. ME was a shocker. 2000 was OK.....ish.
I can understand some wanting the latest OS on the desktop.
"Vista is the future for mame"?? Mame needs Vista ???
With a cab isn't the whole point is you hide the OS.
So ideally you want the fastest and leanest OS that will work on your cab's PC. That is why stripped down versions of XP are made.

Dude, You can use whatever OS / FE combo that makes you happy but I find it hard to swallow your argument that "Second is that if we like it or not vista is the future for Mame" . Dude that is just plain wrong I think.
I feel better now ;D
