DOS MAME Retired9/23/2013
Today I'm officially retiring my DOS MAME pages.
As of writing, MAME is at version 0.150 - Imake that 44 releases away from the lastDOS source released over 7 years ago. It'stime!
My DOS MAME support pages started wayback in 2001, where my initial driver was tocreate a PC based arcade cabinet, with fastboot and no clues it was a PC under tohood, and in turn publish the findings to helpothers with similar goals.
Since then there have been many manyadvances to MAME, MAME frontends, Operating Systems and PC hardwarewhich IMO have rendered my DOS MAME efforts kinda obsolete....and havebeen for a long time now.
With SSD hard drives, faster CPUs and RAM, and 64-bit operating systems likeWindows 7 and Linux there is now much more choice, with better and fasteralternatives to running up MAME either on a desktop PC or in a dedicatedarcade cabinet conversion like mine.
Having said all of that, DOS MAME is still alive and active with the likes ofAdvanceMAME et-al, and it's still a great platform for a fast booting arcadecabinet. I simply prefer the flexibility of being able to run MAME, ZSES andregular PC games all from a single frontend like MALA.
So moving forward, I'm still around, and I'm still tweaking and modding, and I'llbe concentrating on developing my MAME movie script.....albeit very s lowly
LOL.
All of the above will be posted here as always.
Best wishes, dosmame

x64MAME - All Change12/7/2012
I've been having some reliability issues with Windows XP x64 - lock outs &slowness, so I've gone ahead an migrated my Final Fight Cabinet to Windows 7x64 which I've been holding off because I was unable to completely hide the OSwhilst booting. But now it's done.
Also I've upgraded the video card to an Nvidia 8800 GTS which should providebetter PC game support, as I run Crazy Taxi 3, Raiden III and Virtual Tennis2009.
In addition I'm using an SSD for the boot device to help improve boot and menuperformance.
MALA and all game images and snaps now reside on the SSD.
ROMs and PC games are on the SATA disk - mainly because it's only a 60GBSSD.

x64 MAME Cabinet - BIOS editing andsystem branding6/8/2011
WARNING: Flashing yourmotherboard BIOS has the potentialto kill your motherboard by means ofa bad/corrupt flash or power outagemid flash.
If in doubt, don't do it
The BIOSNow I have the ArcadeVGA and a stable POST and boot screen on my WellsGardner K7000 arcade monitor, so now it's time to 'brand' my MAME PC
In order to flash the ASUS P5W BIOS, I need to create a DOS boot USB stick.
This is acomplished by using unetbootin-win http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
From unetboow-win, select - Create a FREEDOS boot disk, choose your USBstick and you're done.
Now we need to create 2 images;1 - the BIOS boot logo which should be BMP 640 x 480 x 256 colours2 - the BIOS setup logo which should be BMP 640 x 80 x 16 colours
I used photofiltreto create the image and infranviewto convert to 16 and 265colour BMPs
From the ATI flash tools, run OEMLOGO.exe
Load the original motherboard ATI BIOS and replace 'OEM logo'
7/23/2019 Home - DOS Windows 32 & 64 Bit MAME Arcade Cabinet Configurati
7/19
Next select 'Small Logo' and replace with your image
To finish, select 'SAVE ROM AS' and place it on your USB key
To flash the motherboard AMI BIOS, insert the USB boot key and boot with NOdrivers
Backup existing ROM
afu236u.exe /obackup.rom
Flash new ROM
afu236u.exe /iff-ami.rom
Reboot
Voila; nice branded BIOS images (video to follow
Windows XP Boot Screen
Next we want to brand the Windows boot screen with our own image
To do this I used instant shellerto change the boot logo and hide the mousecursor and boot to the frontend
You will need a 640 x 480 x 16 colour image; here is the one I created;

x64 MAME Cabinet - Overclocking1/30/2011
Experiment using +20% over clocking in the ASUS BIOS in 'JumperFreeConfiguration' and running cabmame64
Highlighted games run a almost full speed or better now
The system seems to be stable at +20%....sweet :-D

x64 MAME Cabinet - Arcade MonitorReturns1/4/2011 | Comments: 2
Well it had to happen eventually, the Wells Gardner K7000 is back in place. Asmuch as I liked the f lexibility of the SVGA monitor, it just doesn't produce thesame results as a low res monitor.
Now I just had to fix the tearing in horizontal scrollers......[now fixed]

Final Fight - new monitor12/8/2010
Well I went ahead and swapped the CGA monitor for an SVGA monitor
The new monitor is a 19 inch Samsung Syncmaster 950B
I stripped the monitor out of it's plastic casing to reveal the tube and ciruitboards

Clearly I'm not going to be able to swap the tube into the k7000 mounting frame
The tube is 3cm too long too, so I had to fit some spacers between the bracketsand the cabinet to bring the screen forward

x64 MAME Cabinet - Radeon 9250 256MbR92P-LD311/24/2010
Here is my new addition to the cabinet project. A PowerColor ATI Radeon 9250256MB 128bit DVI+CRT+TV PCI (R92P-LD3).
Not exactly bleeding edge, actually compared to the capabilities of thepreviously installed ATI HD4350 PCI-e card, it's a real slouch for playing 3Dgames. BUT it's perfect for 2D MAME and will output perfectly to my 15Khzarcade monitor with a slight BIOS modification.
The new graphics card may well spell the end for the x64 Windows build due toa lack of x64 drivers, and a new build of crunchbang linux 10a2 x86_64 :-D

x64 MAME Cabinet - 32 bit test complete11/24/2010
32bit on a 64bit blog...what's this all about then?
Well, I've been having a fewtechnical issues with my setup,namely getting Windows XP x64up on my Wells Garner 19K7602(K7000) @ 15khz display usingsoft15khz.
The problem was thatintermittently I would get adesktop, or a blank screen. So I'verolled back to 32bit as we knowthis configuration works.
However, after a good few hourstroubleshooting on Windows XP32bit, I was experiencing exactly the same issues.
My ATI Radeon HD 4350 card has 3 outputs
1 x Standard 15 pin VGA
1 x DVI
1 x HDMI
I was testing the rig using the 15 pin VGA output, since that is what isconnected to my J-Pac
Seems the video was being initialized on the 15 pin VGA output, then when theWindows drivers started, the output switched to DVI
Problem fixed, now using the DVI output with a converter.
All I need to do now is rebuild with Windows XP x64 :-)

x64 MAME Cabinet - Linux or Windows11/24/2010
Whilst I'm trying to figure out my options for sourcing a cabinet, I've beenplaying around with Linux and Windows to see which I would prefer to runeventually.
To recap; my core hardware specs are;
Q6700 Quad Core CPU
NVIDIA 9500 PCI-E
2 x XBCD joystick cables (xbox1 to USB) with 2 xbox1 arcade sticks
OS Setup 1: Crunchbang X86_64
Crunchbang is a nice, minimalist distro based on
Debian and Openbox. It just works right out of thebox, with a very easy installation routine.
OS Setup 2: Arch Core x64
Yeah, I like this distro. It's a bit more work to getinstalled as it comes with not a lot installed.....but I likethat.
OS Setup 3: Windows 7 x64
Out of the 4 operating systems, Windows 7 is themost familiar - I was going to say easiest to install,but that's no longer the case these days.
OS Setup 4: Windows XP x64
Windows XP x64 has the least driver support of the4, although Windows Server 2003 x64 drivers willwork.
Conclusion
Boot times reportedly a little better with Windows

Hardware support is excellent with Linux and Windows 7, not so much for XPx64
I can compile my own version of MAME on both
Windows is expensive
Linux is free and in my mind gets the kudos
The choice between them is very close at the moment. I'm edging towardsWindows XP, mainly because I know I can run soft15khz when I eventuallyhook it up to an arcade monitor. I also know my hardware has drivers for XPx64.
I'm always going to edge towards Linux and I would prefer to run Linux, but onlyif I can configure it to run at the correctresolution.x64_MAME_Cabinet_-_Linux_or_Windows
