Actually you may be able to get away with the current board. I found some online documentation on it here
http://service.globalvr.com/downloads/ultracade/components/040-USBLNXM-UCT_USBlinx_User_Doc_v02H.pdf
It says that it uses standard windows compatible devices so you should be able to just use it with the new PC.

Looking for PC's on craigslist I found this one that is
HP 4000 Pro SFF.
160gb HDD
4GB RAM
Core2 e7500 2.93 GHz
Windows 10 Pro
Think that could run most MAME, NES, SNES, N64 games? My knowledge of computers is basically zero. Thanks.

A core2 with 4GB running win 10?
must of been one of those ninja updates. the poor bastard.
don't pay more than $50 because you will need at least another 2gb of ram.

Have you done the simplest thing to the original computer yet which is to replace the cmos battery?

Heres the guide for USBlinx, and it describes how to hook it up: http://service.globalvr.com/downloads/ultracade/components/040-USBLNXM-UCT_USBlinx_User_Doc_v02H.pdf
Documentation says not to use PS/2 when using usb. You have both connected.
Your jumping the gun buying new stuff. Just read the documentation and troubleshoot what you have. Its probably something simple.
