: OK, I've always run Arcadeos from a dos shell in Win98 SE. Just recently I've been messing around with the bootgui option and going straight into DOS. My config.sys looks something like this:
: DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
: DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS
: And my autoexec.bat looks like this:
: SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 H7 P330 T6
: SET SBPCI=C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\AUDIO\DOSDRV
: LH C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE A- C+ 2048
: C:\OPTIDRV\CTMOUSEP (trackball)
: C:\OPTIDRV\OPTIDRV /1 (spinner)
: doskey
: cd mame
: arcadeos.exe
: Does anyone know of other tweaks I can put in here to get the maximum frame rate from some later games such as Metal Slug and NBA Jam? Do I need to load the mouse drivers in high memory? My DOS is extremely rusty. I'm running a AMD Duron 700 with 128 MB of RAM and a Trident Blade 3D card.
: Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
: Thanks,
