Subj: MAMERUN beta 4: Frontend for OS/2

From: stefanj@gte.net (Jason Stefanovich)

I just uploaded beta 4 my OS/2 PM frontend MAMERun for
the DOS version of MAME.  You can get it at the MAMERun
homepage at:

http://home1.gte.net/stefanj/mamerun.htm

or at Hobbes:

ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/mrunb4.zip


This is the ONLY frontend for MAME under OS/2.

Whats New Beta 4:
* Added the ability to set custom configs for each game.
* Fixed various bugs
* Tested for compatability with latest release of MAME (v.36b10)


What is it:
MAMERun is a FREEWARE OS/2 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/.

Requirements:
OS/2
MAME for DOS (I used version .36 beta 10)
DOS Support installed
RexxUtil
joystick device driver (for joystick support, download from hobbes 
or DDPAK)
ROMs (DO NOT ASK ME FOR, OR WHERE TO GET ROMS!!)
