Sounds good in theory. Unfortunately in practice, Stardock did NOT go to
Warpstock. I was disappointed.

Does it run in Warp, or do you need
Win9x ?

Subj: Re: best joystick for OS2 in Dos games
From: nospamstefanj@gte.net (Jason Stefanovich)
My Gravis gamepad pro works great. I just wish someone could modify
they joystick device driver to support more than 4 buttons.

Subj: MAMERun beta 1 released
From: nospamstefanj@gte.net (Jason Stefanovich)
I just uploaded my PM fronted MAMERun for
the DOS version of MAME to Hobbes, you can
also get it at my home directory.
Size is 142k.
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/mrunb1.zip
http://home1.gte.net/stefanj/mrunb1.zip
What is it:
MAMERun is a FREEWARE PM frontend for the DOS version of MAME
(Multi. Arcade Machine Emulator). A Frontend is a program that
makes it easier for the user to interface with their application,
which usually has a command line interface. MAME is a very popular
emulator that allows you to run thousands of classic arcade
games on your PC (if you own the ROMs). You can find the MAME
homepage at http://mame.retrogames.com/. The Official
(and very good) OS/2 PM port of MAME was done by
Marty Amodeo and is at http://emuos2.vintagegaming.com/.
Why:
I wrote MAMERun because I wanted an alternative to running the
PM version without having to reboot back to Windows or type
in really long command strings. Some people have problems
with their video and sound in PM. For me it was the fact that
my poor system just couldn't chug along fast enough too keep
up. I also like to tweak stuff. I've included most of the options
that MAME has (some 30 of them) so you can fiddle all you like.
You may find that using the DOS version of MAME under OS/2
works better for you, or maybe not. Just keep having fun!!
Requirements:
OS/2
MAME for DOS (I used version .36 beta 7)
DOS Support installed
REXX
joystick device driver (download from hobbes or DDPAK)
ROMs (DO NOT ASK ME FOR, OR WHERE TO GET ROMS!!)
If you like MAME please try it out and tell me what you think.

Subj: Pentium optimized version of MAME for OS/2 .36 beta 7 has been updated.
From: Marty <mamodeo@stny.rr.com>
The Pentium optimized version of the recently released MAME for OS/2 .36
beta 7 has been updated. It was originally built using a buggy GCC
optimization which caused instability. The 486 version did not suffer
from this instability and did not need to be updated. I have rebuilt
the Pentium optimized version without the offending optimization and it
has cured many problems.
If you currently have the Pentium optimized version, I strongly
recommend that you download this update. It is available at
http://emuos2.vintagegaming.com as usual.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
- Marty
