    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
