Hello! I'm almost done with my first build and have a spare wifi card lying around, would there be any advantage to installing it into the machine? |

I've sometimes thought about the possibility of having ROM's 'cloud' based. Edit: Network access is invaluable for me though... |

Mine is definitely wireless. I download all my MAME-related updates directly to the machine. |

The only other reason was if somehow I could get the top scores of selected games to be uploaded to a website. Anyone know of how I could possibly do that? |

Only disadvantages are Virus's and Malware. A bad infection could blow away all your work in setting up the software for the cab. A complete backup would be a must. Also if you have wifi access you need to keep virus/malware software running which uses CPU time and memory that will slow down the speed of your emulation. |
