Run it, sure. Depends on what you plan to do tho. If you just wanna run a comp monitor or LCD tv/monitor, it will do that outta the box. If you want to use an arcade monitor as a display, who knows.

It can run MAME, but not all the games would run at full speed.
Wouldn't even come close to running 3D games.

It would be ok for classics & 2D fighters.

If it only works with google chrome os like those damn freedom hating ipads, than no, it won't run mame.

edit: they ported mame to chrome!

How about this?

rmusick · « **Reply #13 on:** June 01, 2012, 12:45:17 pm »

And this?

Is there a point to wanting to use the chromebox for a mame machine? If your goal is small and quiet, I would much rather have an Acer Revo or something similar :

You can also put together a computer with a mini itx motherboard. For a couple hundred, you can get a 2Ghz system running off of a thumb drive. Small, silent and fast.

My thoughts exactly. For cheaper you could build a rather decent pc.

I'd actually find it more likely for MAME to run the C64, not the other way around.
