It’s set to irq10 as it’s like this in the .bak and .bat
Só most likely same in config.sys ?
Só I could try switch of Crystal sound and enable irQ 10 ?

My autoexc.bat file In root of my hard drive does not match
What my system says it is on boot up ?
Here is my autoexc in note pad
Here is my start up
It’s the opposite to what I have done and it’s the same as .bak file ..
Só is it using the .bak and not the .bat ?

Is the card itself set to 10? As in physical jumpers with IRQ/DMA etc?
Enable file extension display in win - notepad is just saying 'autoexec' and not telling you whether it's the BAK or BAT version.

Out of curiosity, what's the attraction on using an old version of MAME on an old PC?
I was thinking it's likely way less accurate than the modern version and you won't get things like HLSL.

Looks , sounds and feels great.
I have put an i5 in in its place but this just seemed perfect for a cocktail cab and the sound blaster sounds Awsome ..
Screen Rez is very nice ..
Just feels spot on !

Só where can I go to run cmd script ?
I can go to dos shell in arcadeos and it brings me to win 90 with cmd prompt ?
Can I run like
Sb16/diagnose from win 98 cmd prompt ?

Yeh Só looks like I need to run
Something like
C:/ Divers /sound blaster / install
Something like
C:/ Divers /sound blaster / install
I use it because there's no flashy frontend, fast booting, and a more authentic arcade feel. Plus I only tend to play the older games from the late 70s to 85-ish.
Do you have a DOS SB utility that will give you the settings? Have you disabled the parallel port in BIOS?

I wanted to ask about parallel
Ports ..
Só I disable
And serial ports ?
I’m pretty sure I have everything ..
I have sb16 file with all related drivers and utilities

Look my autoexec.bat
Don’t say irQ 10 in my file
Look at pic
It’s irQ 5
But when I run it
It says irq10 ?
What’s going on ?
It’s using another autoexec.bat
Somewhere els ?
I have sb16/ config
With autoexec.
Here
This looks like this
Here is boot script
With irq10
Notice it’s opposite to my rem & set config ?
