I running a MAME vertical cab with classics on it using a Pentium II in Windows 98se. It runs great with an older version of DOS MAME (.85). D |

It's more then enough. I have and old 400mhz Celeron that I run Mame 37b16 on it. And it runs most of the stuff just fine. |

install tiny XP and an OLD build of MAME , great for the classics. Im sure you could snag some RAM for next to nothing. 128 isnt all that great and youcould quadruple that for like $30. I'd be proactive about changing the hard drive, especially if you have some sitting around. |

MAME .37b7 + my roms weigh in at 100mb :laugh2: I have some old ddr sticks laying around somewhere, but I'm not sure if any of them were bigger than 64mb. I really don't want to sink any money into this. My regular setup is modern and runs everything I want it to. The main reason that I'm bothering with this is to have a seperate system with a 4-way joystick. Also have a spare Compact Flash to IDE adapter, but would have to buy a card. It would probably be the right choice for a bartop. Less space, less heat. But I will probably use a 10gb hd that is sitting around and I have no other use for. I'm a novice and haven't worked with DOS since I was a kid. I have picked up a few command lines from working with these emulators. After doing some research, I'm leaning toward finding a copy of windows 95, so I can set up my folder structure, etc in windows, then change it to boot to dos. I have plenty of t-molding, wood, etc. All I should have to buy is a joystick, 1P button & keyboard encoder (or attempt to hack the keyboard that came with this computer). I'm going to go ahead and set up the software before I spend any money. Not sure when I'll actually get around to building it. I have a driving cab that I want to redo the control panel and front end for first. |
