Right click on the shortcut you just created, select Properties, click on the Misc tab, uncheck all of the Windows shortcut keys, click on the Screen tab, select Usage Full-screen, click OK. (The shortcut you created will work from any location including your C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp folder.)

Thats it, your finished!! To run AdvanceMENU just double-click on the shortcut you created earlier. You can move or copy the shortcut to any location you like. Note, the display_restore no setting makes launching games from the command line problematic with Matrox's G400. You should only launch games from AdvanceMENU or ArcadeOS. To run your setup in DOS, edit your Msdos.sys file for DOS mode bootup. Note that to exit a game you must press player 1 button + player 2 button + right joystick. These settings can be modified along with many others through advancemame menu's. Launch a game press tab->input (general)->user interface->ui option.

Recommended setup for PC monitor
