Thanks for that but how do I load MAME on start up
and how do i make a game menu so i can select what game to play
how am i going to use a coin slot with it is it possible



example i switch on pc (arcade)

i wont mame32 to load with the game boot so i can select a game and play
how do i connect arcade controls to pc
so i wont it to start on boot up
and be able to select game and put in money to play how do i rig up the coin slot to pc to work

**
I wont it so i can use no mouse or keyboard and only the acrade controls eg joystick and button

does this mean i have to have a track ball mouse to operate mouse

to select game etc


all the ones i seen on youtube they use it and it starts up and they can use coin slots


or am i going to have to buy a mame arcade reday made i poor 16 years old and trying to learn about this

as i going to bulid one
