Driver:IBM PCs
IBM PC and derivatives
MAME has drivers for the IBM PC (ibm5150), PC XT (ibm5160), and PC AT (ibm5170), among other PC compatible systems.
After launching the driver and selecting a title from the software list you will be prompted to select from the available BIOS ROMs for this driver. The ROMs are loaded from your ROM paths, as is the normal (floppy) software, and the CHDs (hard disk) images. The Software List paths are not searched for these images.
If you have multiple graphics cards (assuming they can co-exist in a PC, like MDA and CGA, or CGA and PGC) they will all be displayed on your screen at once. A widescreen is useful for displaying two 4:3 outputs side by side.
Menu
The keyboard by default is directed to the emulator so it will appear as native to the system. Scroll lock (by default) will enable MAME commands, such as escape to quit, F12 to screenshot, and tab to bring up the system menu.
DIP Switches
These are accurate to the emulated systems and may be needed to configure different graphics cards and such depending on what is installed.
File Manager
Here you can set which images are being used for the disks. The floppies are changed immediately.
Slot Devices
Here you pick which drivers are loaded for expansion cards. Some knowledge of IBM PCs will be required if changing the defaults. These changes will require the system to be restarted.
