Whats New Beta 5:

* Changed the interface a bit to make it easier to read and fixed
some minor bugs
* Removed the tab stops from all objects except the Hotlist
* Updated the main menu and popup
* Added support for ROM and sample checking
* Fixed bug with alternate ROM dir. and duplicate names
* All ROMs in the alternate dir are now identified with the suffix
'[alt]'
* Fixed timing issues with some processes
* Added a 'Check for updates' button

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 12)
I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU USE THIS VERSION SINCE THERE IS A Y2K ISSUE
WITH PRIOR VERSIONS!
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!!)
