Yeah, good point, not everybody is a wizard at DOS..

But technically all you do is the following..

Get into DOS, via avoiding Windows or if you don't have Windows or via Windows DOS prompt.

Start Mon-ARC (in your case it would be the V3tsr.exe).

I presume you now how to run DOS MAME and ArcadeOS (by using CD (to change directorys and so forth).

When you run MonARC your PC monitor probably goes into standby or goes blank (due to the signal being out of range, bizzare how older Sony monitors can handle both 15khz and 25khz perfectly and modern ones can't!).

Plug your Arcade Monitor in now as the signal is the right standard..

And then launch ArcadeOS, however make sure when you run ArcadeOS you make it so it runs in PC monitor mode (not Arcade mode, review the ArcadeOS.CFG and readme.txt for information about the different ArcadeOS options).

Or you could add it to your Autoexec.bat with some lines like this or similar.

@echo off
c:\monarc\v3tsr
cd\arcadeos
arcadeos

If you need any help or anything just let me know, always happy to help people.
