Cooking with gas

so my sound card arrived today along with my new male to male ps/2 cable for the controllers. and both work great!!! sound is now working and the joystick seems to be behaving much better than b4.
i've also been doing a few changes here and there and am now using dos 7.1, which is actually gpl and is more compatible for what i want to do. i've got a boot screen going on so you don't see any of that ugly dos stuff going on and i'm now trialling arcade os which works much better than advancemenu, but for some reason it's not seeing my games, still trying to work that out.
arcade os is actually nicer looking than advance menu and seems to be snappier. i've also got the table shutting itself down when you quit out of arcade os. so you can control the whole thing using nothing more than the joystick. arcade os also allows you to load games onto the table from a cd drive or floppy drive.
now to start building and speccing the physical side of things.
