No DOS Box for MAME

[mgalaxy]

Paratech,

Maybe a switch would be better?

The main goal for mGalaxy being to be as simple as possible...I'm a little bit afraid to add options and options...

I think that I might rather delete this "hide dos box" option if a lot of people wanted it to disappear

[Paratech]

Would if affect messages about missing files/missing ROMS?
That might lead to some end users not knowing they're missing ROMS/BIOS Files...

Maybe a switch would be better?

The DOS box will be hidden in the next version (to come in a week or two)

get a windows version of the emulator, like mame32 or mame32plus! either of those work the same, and will not show a dosbox when loading. Install the app in the folder your using and rename the main program (mame32gui.exe or mame32pgui.exe) to mame.exe. The emu will run and load the same, although you may have to regenerate your gamelist, but will not show the dosbox! Good luck, and any more questions just holler.

Sorry to bump an old thread but...

I get the DOS box and would like to hide it and cant see any mame32gui to rename.

Can someone explain this a bit more?

thanks, man!

rename the windows version like mame32gui to mame.exe, then it will run the same and you wont get the dos box.

I first off want to say that this an EXCELLENT app.  I'm a MameWah user, but if you keep it up, I think I and many others will make a permanent switch.

One feature I'd like to see is a NODOSBOX parameter integrated into the app.  When I launch a game, I'd rather not see a window with the command-line MAME running before the game starts.  The goal is to hide Windows.   

Keep up the good work.  I love it already.  Very pretty.
