With TinyXP you can choose several options as follows (from the TinyXP Rev 9 readme): and yes, I know I could use nLite and do a custom build, but I'm lazy and don't know all the tricks with doing custom builds, only the basic stuff like pre-filling rego fields, slipstreaming service packs/updates, haven't attacked the services tab too hard :P So, should I go for TinyXP or MicroXP? Is Rev 10 okay, or should I go for Rev 9? It's an experience release or whatever it is, I think I've spelt it wrong though! I want something that will boot fast and run with a small memory footprint, but still functions! The setup's intended to be very lean - no internet access once it's in the cab (though being able to remote into the PC for maintenance via my network might be handy), soft15k on the video card, USB support for a jpac (unless they use PS/2?), default AC'97 Realtek audio drivers, some kind of front end (recommendations? I'm familiar with GameEx, been using it for years on another XP box), MAME, within my system specs. I've noticed that a Rev 10 of both of the above are out - can anyone recommend one over the other? I don't plan on installing any of the pre-packed drivers, was going to grab the installers off Gigabyte's website for the mobo and use the Omega drivers for the video card.
#TINYXP ISO KAT INSTALL#
To keep things lean I was thinking of installing TinyXP or MicroXP and run MAME (I have a 0.083 set and 0.128 set, can anyone recommend one over the other? Only interested in 15k games) with a lean frontend (I normally use GameEx, but not sure if that's the best option these days, especially on a custom install like the above with a 3.2ghz P4). I've got some old PC bits I was looking at throwing together to swap in a MAME setup in my Astro to spice things up between PCBs - it's an old Gigabyte mobo, P4 3.2ghz S478 CPU, 1gb RAM, ATi 9600XT and a HDD of some sort (got a 40gb, 200gb and 320gb HDD spare, was planning on using the 40gb).
