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

What's wrong with a 1 liner reply ?! Your 2 extra lines ended up as

I <br> <br> suppose <br> <br> he <br> <br> could <br> <br> be <br>
<br> using <br> <br> WinNT <br> <br> which <br> <br> works <br> <br>
better <br> <br> with <br> <br> Mame32. <br> <br> <br> BeeJay {;-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,
<p>

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.

<p>

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.

<p>

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. :-)

<p>

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

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.

<p>

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. :)
<p>

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...
