Mame on windows 7

[joe.lait]

Hi All

I have a windows 7 Asus tiny pc and I want to use it to run space harrier and buck rogers planet of zoom.

I have installed mame 64 and it powers up and boots straight in to windows but I would like it to boot directly into space harrier or buck rogers but I dont know how!

Its going into to a dedicated buck rogers cabinet as my board set has graphics issues.

Any ideas or suggestions on what front end to use as I need it in windows as i need to map the inputs to the usb input adapter.

Just create a mame commandline arguement and put it in a bat file, then put that into the windows startup folder.

If you want even faster you need to read up on swapping windows shell.

Instantsheller will do the job to hide windows and give you a more arcadey feel, but had mixed results when I tried it on win7. The best I've ever had it working was how it is now on my current setup with Win 10 Enterprise. Deffo worth a full disk clone before trying it regardless of win version.
