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!!) ------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ -------------------------------------------------------
