Go Speed Racer!

after much fiddling around with my slow ass cdrom (4 speed i think), i copied some games across and the mame software as well as the frontend. what can i say, mame absolutely flies on freedos! killer instinct, which is known for being notoriously unplayable on many machines gets over 60 frames per second!
so i've now got it booting very quickly, takes about 4 seconds from power on to the frontend. bam! my next hurdle is getting dos to talk to my sound card. i've got drivers that came with the motherboard, but they don't detect the sound card, time for plan b. usb is also proving to be a pain in the ass, so i've ordered a ps/2 cable for the ipac and will just settle with that (no stuffing around).
will take some more snaps today :)
