Minimum specs for a MAMEUI box.

You would be hard pressed to even locate a PC incapable of playing almost everything from the mid 90s back at full speed (may have to dial your mame version back some). Basically every game in mame that didn't use a hard drive or 3D graphics card was running full speed in mame over 10 years ago (on hardware that was current then).

12 years ago a 400 mhz PC would run everything in mame full speed with maybe a half dozen exceptions. That is still true today, although once again you may have to dial back your mame version.

Mame32 version .55 came out like 10 years ago but I still recommend it (mame32 is like MameUI). It will run basically everything you remember full speed and will do it on a computer that you would literally have to pay someone to haul away. They have added countless titles to mame in the last 10 years, but very few of them have much substance, mahjong games, fruit machines, 3D titles that have aged terribly, driving games that require controls I don't have, no thanks.

Don't try to use a console, that is silly. Much easier to use a real PC.

Though I am sure this would satisfy me needs for actual gameplay.  My hope is to become more familiar with the whole MAME environment with this small project and move into more elaborate projects down the road.  I do appreciate the input though.
