Hello There

I am new to mame

I got a old pc with windows xp in it i got Mame32 installed and got 3 roms for it i

would like it when i turn on computer MAME starts and i can play the games

eg i wont a boot screen so i can select games to play

i wont to use no mouse or keyboard as i useing it for acarde purpose

eg use buttons etc

how do i make it so i start up acrade (pc)

it starts mame and i select game to play

and how to i confirgue buttons to unit and do i have to use mouse to select games

and how to i use a coin slot mechine with it so i can play

when you play the game press TAB key and the you can configure the controls etc

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
