Hi. Well 1st you're posting on a arcade cab/control building site, not really a emu site. I suggest looking at these sites and actually reading the material.
http://www.mameworld.net
http://www.mame.net
Sometimes people post off topic messages but ususally they tie in with the arcade scene (i.e. Tron on DVD, etc).
All that said in a Win DOS type this:
C:/MAME>
C:/MAME>dmame mspacman -soundcard 1
This will start DOS MAME with Ms Pacman. Type the name of the games zipfile you want to play. But really read up on emulator and such. If you're going to jump into this "hobby" then you need all the info you can find and read. Good luck and...
Game On!

: I am totally new to all of this and my friend and I are trying to figure out how to get mame to work. We got Mame057 and downloaded a few roms and put them in the rom section but I can't seem to find out how to play them. I have Windows 98 and 300mhz. Please help out the newbie.
