And my PC have Duron 900mhz, Radeon 9200 and 256mb ram. Is it enough to play simple games (I mean i don't want to emulate PS1 or N64)? --- End quote --- if you go with an older version of mame, you won't need a huge system to play most of the games. the later releases need more horsepower. |

I downloaded newest Hyperspin, but it don't works well... so what should i choose to play classic arcade games on this old machine? |

Most people use a momentary push button (like an arcade button). From XP and on I believe, one push of the power button will shutdown Windows. In addition you need a P1 Start button and an Exit button that is like the escape key and gets you out of Mame and back to your frontend. Hyperspin has a lot going on with it. You should check out the MaLa Frontend forum at the top of the page. It might be a little bit harder to setup then hyperspin but they are all sort of equally hard in my opinion. |

The problem is that Hyperspin actually is pretty taxing on the computer as a front end. My PC was slow with Hyperspin so I chose Mala as the frontend and am quite content. Hyperspin running slow does not represent how fast your emulators and games will run. |

You may also want a power button for booting up/shutting down. What type of build do you have in mind? A standalone portable control panel/fightstick, a full-size cab build, a bartop? The best choice for buttons can change depending on the nature of the project. Scott |
