Great, I'll send you a link as soon as it is ready. What is the configuration of the system that you are installing on? (memory, cpu, soundcard, etc)

: currently i am loading nothing in config.sys.
: i would be interested in the distribution and would be willing to try it out.
: thanks a bunch.

: : What are you loading in config.sys? I have had problems with MAME and AOS when loading memory managers (ie, QEMM, HIMEM, or EMM386). Note that these are completely unnecessary when running DPMI apps like MAME.

: : I am contemplating releasing a simple distribution to make setting up a DOS based cab easier; just about have a bootable ISO ready for testing. Let me know if you are interested and I'l post it for you to try out.

: :
: : : Wait a few more seconds after that, it should come up. Also, you only need cwsdpmi.exe, you can delete the other files.

: : : : i have been trying to get MAME w/ ArcadeOS frontend to run in pure DOS, when i do i get this error "Load Error - no DPMI - Get csdpmi*b.zip". I got csdpmi5b.zip from http://www.mameworld.net/dosmame/downloads.htm and putting the 4 cws files(cwsparam.exe, cwsdstub.exe,cwsdpr0.exe,and cwsdpmi.exe) that came with it in both the Arcadeos folder and the Mame folder. now everytime i restart in pure DOS mode and try to run Arcadeos it waits a couple seconds and the screen goes blank and nothing happens. what am i doing wrong?
