Smartdrv.exe is a DOS disk caching utility. You can find it in the C:\WINDOWS folder on a Windows 98SE computer. While smartdrv.exe is not required by MAME, it optimizes game performance, especially on game bootup (without it large games can take practically forever to load). Smartdrv.exe can be loaded from your Autoexec.bat file (recommended). While this utility can be tweaked for better performance, its default parameters work well on most computers. Smartdrv.exe should never be loaded before your Sound Blaster DOS drivers. An example Autoexec.bat file is listed below, click on the link to download it. Note that the smartdrv.exe command comes after the sbinit.exe DOS Sound Blaster PCI driver in the example below.

Autoexec.bat (For SBPCI compatible sound card)
