Hi there, Im planning to do a mini cade and would put a dreamcast with mame in it, and either with my real arcade powered by a ps2,  I got this dreamcast sleeping there, I was wondering if it was any possible to make mame run on them, thanks

There's a version for Dreamcast.  I can't vouch for how well it runs as I have never tried it, though.

My experience with the Dreamcast Mame is that it's not very fast.  I was trying to play some minimally new games like Double Dragon, Shinobi, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and it wasn't acceptable.  I was using the all-purpose Mame for Dreamcast, however.  There are single-game builds that should be faster, but even still they seem to use a lot of frameskip to keep the speed playable, and since I have a PC in my cab that plays everything perfectly, I didn't bother messing around too much.  Instead I put the effort into making the Dreamcast play my old favorite console games in front of my TV set (NES, SNES, Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, ColecoVision, c64, etc.).
