An old PC with only 3 games and annoying controls! Hooray! Confusing Instructions: You must manually enable Joysticks and save setting with ini file (retroarch\system\mame\ini) MAME Slot device: enable gamio: "Apple joystick" use RetroArch to write ini file slot section at bottom of ini should look like: # # SLOT DEVICES # gameio joy ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mapped Controls: Cashman: PF1 Start Game: Start PF2 Pick Player: X (Default Sheik - Joystick is best) PF3 Select Area: Select PF5 Information: Y Joystick will constantly drift to the right and I have no solution Demon Seed: K Keyboard: L1 J Joystick: R1 Unmapped games: Zork Compilation Boots to Dos Press Numpad Enter twice to skip data and time configuration. Don't bother it won't save. type: dir (press Numpad Enter) type game name example: zork1 (press Numpad Enter) it will display "Cannot Open Setup File" but still loads game

MAME only supports carts for the NEC PC-6001 series, so it's a small library The official hash file is inaccurate and lists Curse of Crowley and Dawn Patrol as unsupported. I fixed both by using the PC-6001mk2 model The PC-6001 Mortal Kombat 2 edition fixed everything! Use the dawnpat.opt to overclock MAME so Dawn Patrol runs faster (Yes, it is still slow but much improved and BASIC games are typically slower) Moon Raiders is awesome! Play it!

I was surprised when I couldn't find any existing work for this system. I guess I found the missing piece of that apple. Thankfully, the games load directly so save states are not required unless you want to skip the long loading time. Helpful Tip: Having Caps Lock on breaks the controls! Mame lists joystick devices but I couldn't get it to function. The controls are mapped the best that I could manage. Games: Apple Chomp: Struggle to maneuver an apple through a maze but watch out for ghosts, unresponsive controls, and the Caps Lock key! Atomic Defense: I could only map 4-way control to the right Joystick, fire missiles with L1/L2/R1/R2. Those horrible controls will leave you mostly defenseless, but I survived the first round. Can you? Capt'n Magneto: You are unarmed and running from grumpy aliens who want to harm you with their fists and hurtful words! Tic-Tac-Toe: Truly the killer app for the system! Block the evil Apple III's onslaught of X's with your O's! Marvel at the incredible controls as you press a number and the game actually responses! Is this system a good additional or another bad apple?

I wasn't in the right mindset to make a setup today until I found this old (unreleased?) pc with literally one (partially working) game. This is the kind of obscure system I like to work on! I abbreviated the system name but if you want accuracy its: Mindset Corporation Mindset Personal Computer But that's just silly. Damn, did this suck! I was going to make a proper theme for the single game but I only got as far as the logo from the boxart. I hope the autoload save state works for everybody. I was able to correct the screen position (Bios will not save settings) but it actually drifts during gameplay. Yes, it takes that long to load! No, you can't make a save state later! Put this crap next to the Konix Multisystem.

A very simple theme for a very simple system. This one requires tape loading and autoload states if you want to launch directly to games. Try to use the provide state.auto files first to hopefully skip all of the game loading steps if not... INSTRUCTIONS: ------------------------------------------------------- Launching games: Type: CLOAD Open Mame Menu (Press Scroll Lock)->Tab->Tape Control->Play Press Tab and wait Type: RUN If there is a tape loading error message Tape Control->Stop then Tape Control->Play I had to try several times to load on some games ------------------------------------------------------- Auto Loading: Create RetroArch Save State at Title Screen Change gamename.state1 to gamename.state.auto ------------------------------------------------------- Controls (already mapped in laser700.cfg to controller) Space = fire, J = left, L = right, I = up, K = down

I couldn't get controls to work for: astrof (Astro Fighter) bersek (Berserk) spcrocks (Space Rocks) They require Hex Keypad, MAME does list that input device but I couldn't get it to work. If anyone can figure that out, please contact me. I altered Mackano's Fade for M&D Monon Color.
