READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION FIRST!!!!!! Also See the 3 Video Demos at the bottom! Note that I can't ship Rom's or Mame and are not included. This is for older Mame DOS enthusiasts and is not for newer Mame or newer games. Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions if you are unsure what I am selling.
This DOS system is preconfigured, works with Mame, Arcadeos front end and other DOS based front ends, works with
Freedos and soundblaster compatible card with many bonus features! All older Dos versions of Mame work! The
system is blazing fast and as real as it gets. It also has a screen saver and and MP3 player that works on a real
Arcade Monitor! Included are, video card, Pre-configured bootable Formatted compact flash with IDE adapter, freedos
and properly installed customized blaster drivers and IDE adapter. It works on older Select P3, P4 Mother boards that
are readily available on ebay cheap, under $40. I have a secret list of Motherboards, sound cards and Video card combos
that work and is included in the auction!
This system works flawlessly with Aracdeos and MAME Dos Beta versions .036, 037 and later Dos versions. Over 3000 games are supported. Please note, you need your own Roms, and Mame. I can't distribute Mame or Roms and please do not ask! What I am allowed to do is, sell the compact flash with freedos configured and ready. The Freedos source code is not modified but the autoecec.bat and config.sys, and sound drivers are along with many other tweaks. One Major feat in it's self, was to allow a boot splash screen in Dos Real mode. This screen can be customized!
Boot time is incredibly fast and is stable as can be, because it's DOS! There has never been anything closer to the real deal. This system is ten times better then those all in one boards and you can tweak this system, add removes games and much more! I have tried them all. For those who enjoy a real arcade monitor and classic gaming, this is especially for you. This is not a fake conversion to CGA. It's the real deal and the card supplied, outputs CGA in native resolutions!
