arcade cabs questions

[gerble1000]

does anyone know if you can run games on a cab running a pc but not running an operating system.

so the cab will run just games.

obviously games need an operating system but is there any games that dont,maybe self booting games??

you can use DOS or change you shell. Tom has created a program that will hide your OS completley its very usefull I suggest you check into it as I believe you want the feel of a gaming machine without having to load windows interface and launch an executable.
