: MEWL? It might do what you want...

: http://www.sithspawn.net/arcade/MEWL.htm

: Let me know what you think.

: -Sith

: : To those of you who are advocates of DO IT YOURSELF AND DON'T ASK FOR HELP, I checked out ArcadeOS at length, and have concluded that it being a DOS program, which I'd be running from windows, it will not run windows programs and then return to it's shell.

: : DOS programs do not do that it seems. So now I have another question...

: : Does anyone know of a Windows-based frontend (or even a program launcher that could be customized to look like a gaming frontend) to do the following:

: : Run games (Windows or DOS based), Emulators, etc. and return to it's main screen upon exit. What I am trying to do, is make this easy as pie for those at home who will be using the machine and their friends, without needing much assistance. I am not home during most of the day, and go on business trips often, so this would be very helpful.

: : The machine is a dedicated gaming machine (Just upgraded to a PIII-700 (Flip-Chip design) with 256 Megabytes of RAM and a 30+20GB HD, DVD-ROM, and HP 9310i CD-RW drive, with a #dfx Voodoo 3 3000 card with SVGA/TV out. Cool machine.

: : On another note, while I don't have a lot of time on my hands, I do have money, and don't mind spending it on something I will use. If you want to create such a program, and would like to be paid for it, please LMK, and I will be happy to pay, (once I have checked it out and it does in fact work as expected).

: : I would like all replies to be public, as I have not included an email address. I will do that when/if a possible private deal gets struck, but I would much more prefer that all here benefit from such a program.

: : Let's keep this one civil, arcade dudes.
