I have just uploaded beta 1 of MAMERun to the /pub/incoming directory
of Hobbes:

  http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/ 

Final expected placement is:

  http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/apps/emulator/ 

What:

MAMERun is a FREEWARE PM front end for the DOS version of MAME
(Multi. Arcade Machine Emulator). A front end is a program that makes
it easier for the user to interface with his application, which
usually has a command line interface. MAME is a very popular emulator
that allows you to run thousands of classic arcade games on your PC
(if you own the ROMs). You can find the MAME homepage at:

  http://mame.retrogames.com/ 

The Official (and very good) OS/2 PM port of MAME was done by Marty
Amodeo and is at:

  http://emuos2.vintagegaming.com/ 

Why:

I wrote MAMERun because I wanted an alternative to running the PM
version without having to reboot back to Windows or type in really
long command strings. Some people have problems with their video and
sound in PM. For me it was the fact that my poor system just couldn't
chug along fast enough too keep up. I also like to tweak stuff. I've
included most of the options that MAME has (some 30 of them) so you
can fiddle all you like. You may find that using the DOS version of
MAME under OS/2 works better for you, or maybe not. Just keep having
fun!!

Requirements:

OS/2 
MAME for DOS (I used version .36 beta 7)
DOS Support installed
REXX
joystick device driver (download from hobbes or DDPAK)
ROMs (DO NOT ASK ME FOR, OR WHERE TO GET ROMS!!)
