Try XP, you'll have better luck with drivers and whatnot. Minimum requirements for XP are here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314865 Also, I would start with version v0.106 of MAME. |

You can even stuff it into a dead Coleco table top (really dead one, most dead ones can be saved). |

I had a very similiar system. I played around with Puppy Arcade (linux) that is out there. It worked all right. I currently use my old system to run RandyT's Jumpball for my skeeball machine and it works flawslessly with my system. |
