Its the burn program you use that adds the bootable part.

Hi Peale,

I won't be much help to you, but I hope you can get it updated. Best of
luck with it, let us know how you go.

I think El Torito is the term you search for when in comes to create a
bootable image.

I figured as much. I thought the disc automatically launched the .bat
file. Or do you do it on your own? I haven't actually tried it.

for boot CD's there isnt a file to make it a boot CD, its a certain
convention in the TOC or something.

No, you have to provide a boot image.

Great work on the update!
I tried it last night and all went smoothly.
I did have to add the listxml.exe file to the mame dir though as
ArcadeOS did not initially pick up my games list.
Was I supposed to do this manually afterwards? Or did I miss
something in the setup?

Regardless, good work! and thanks for the updated version.

Ah, no I missed that myself. Thanks for the heads up.

Can someone mail me the DOS version of xml2info.exe? You did mean that,
and not listxml.exe, right?

Yes - xml2info.exe is what I meant. I'll sent the file over to you...
