Which frontend to use w/ this pc?
Minwah:
You could always try Windows with something like MAME v0.36final, to see how it performs (should play the classics and many others OK...).
MAMEWAH has pretty low system requirements (I have run it on a 333 with no problem), and GameLauncher would run...I am not sure how demanding the other cabinet FE's are (?)

Amen, brother. ;D
IMO GameLauncher runs better than ArcadeOS on an arcade monitor which can't do 640x480.
Hopefully his sound card has a DOS driver.
The poster might be better off doing what Minwah said and replacing the Windows 98 shell with Mamewah.

I may try and do the Mamewah first and see how things go.

I'm using an old pc like that for my cab. Mame 0.59 works perfectly at full speed, but for MK, you can try .36 or .40 range too.
Running Windows 98, 32bit FE (VertiWAH, fyi), runs fine.
