Hey all. I am in the early stages of planning an upright Mame system and just wanted to throw out a few questions. I am interested in playing basically just older games like Track and Field and Pole Position and the like. What would you guys recommend as a minimum PC system to be running mainly older stuff like that? I doubt I will ever load a game from 1990 or later, so I am not too concerned about spending a ton of cash on a newer system.
Forgive my horrible terminology, but here is a quick rundown of what I think I may be going after, and perhaps someone can let me know if I am on the right track.
I will probably go with a 17 or 19 inch computer monitor that is a few years old depending on the cabinet I get of course. Is this an ok idea?
I like the sounds of the keyboard interface, as I want to put in 2 joysticks, probably 3 buttons a side, and a trackball as well as the possibility of a removable wheel. Good idea or bad?
Again, sorry for the bad terminology, but I just discovered this last night and am totally into getting started. Thanks in advance for your insight.
