Agreed. With one of those "optimized" or "srtipped" versions of XP and an older matching set of mame and roms (think v65-v85) your games would fly on that machine. I've gotten TinyXP to work on a P133 with 64mb ram with plain old Mame32v36 with classics like pac, dk, burgertime phoenix, ect ect.
Saved alot of old Boat Anchors, as Spystyle used to say, from going overboard.
Another nice thing about these tiny or micro versions is that they come with driver packs that have darned near every driver for every piece of hardware that was ever made. So unless your laptop is some weird off brand, Tiny will automatically install all the right drivers for your hardware during the O/S installation. So when its done all you need to do is slap on mame, your roms, and your FE and it's ready to go!!

Kewl tiny xp then. Will work on that by wednesday :afro:
Artemismeow:
oh wow. well using the version of mame that came with saint's book worked great.
also tiny xp is pretty awesome. :notworthy:
sorry I am a total noob but:
I am not using a keyboard I am using a chtulu board is there anyway to remap the key that exits the games ? right now it's set to esc. and I couldn't find how to change it on mame. :(

If you hit tab when in a game, its under the user interface menu I can't remember the name of the option, but you can set the exit button there
