I have just uploaded beta 2 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/ 

You can also find it at:

New:
* Fixed bug with the "Flip Y" button
* Fixed clipping and scaling problem with MAMERun bitmap
* Removed the need for an external bitmap
* Removed the maximize button from all windows
* Removed the minimize button from modal windows
* Added Norm Ross's STARTD program
* Customized the DOS environment to allow the running of large ROMs
and enhance emulation speed

MAMERun should now allow any ROM to run that works with MAME.


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/ 

Requirements:

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