yeah, what's wrong with using the DOS version anyway? ;P

This line was added to keep this from being a one-line reply. So was this line.

What's wrong with a 1 liner reply ?! Your 2 extra lines ended up as 1 line anyway... ;-p

I have win32 35rc2. and as Windows '98 has no native MS-DOS, the MS- DOS version of MAME is of no use to me. I tried it, and computer crashes even when doing something small like dominoes.

Chris,

You should have no problems getting Mame "DOS" version running in a "DOS Box" under Windows 98. I know of at least one person running in this way without any problems. You probably want to persevere with the different switch settings for soundcard and video etc to find a combination that works for you. Likewise I always run the Mame "DOS" version in a "DOS Box" under Windows95 and have no problems either.

To recap then, it's not that Mame "DOS" version won't run under a Win98 "DOS Box" it's just that you haven't found the right settings to run it with yet.

Best of luck - and remember it will run faster for most games than Mame32 once you get the DOS version running - especially if you use an Assembler core version of Mame. :-)

BeeJay.

Well, I'm running Win 98 and I haven't touched MAME32 :)

So far I've been able to run most games in a default DOS box, and everything by booting to DOS - there should be an option in your shutdown menu. You can also try picking up TWEAKUI to allow your computer to start in DOS first instead of windows.

In case anyone cares, my 4th of July trip was a disaster and I'm very heavily congested and very weak right now.

oops. Guess I should use HTML tags on this. :)

Anyway, my computer is brand new and came with Windows '98 pre-installed. I haven't had any problems at all running DOS MAME out of a DOS box (aside from expected emulation bugs on games and whatnot)

You all have been helpful in giving the same answer 4 to 5 times! For some god awful reason, my machine will not run MS-DOS software at all, have gone around the bend with the maker's tech support, but that is all I have, the only way I can play MAME is through MAME32. I can't run it in a box, I can't run it with a fox. I can't eat green eggs and ham, I am sorry Sam I am...
