Windows based mame is just fine, most cabinets I have built have run windows.
NiN^_^NiN:
All my cabinets i run are dos based cause i like to be able to turn on and off in a second
But i could run neogeo games at full speed on a win98 266mhz PII with 64mb of ram and it ran great so 500Mhz is fast enough for almost all the games you would wanna play.
:D

the ultimarc minipac is alternative to ipac + optipc combination
maybe try a keyboard + mouse hack if you really want to save money
use regular video card and VGA monitor - enable scan lines feature in mame for that TV style look to the games

The Minipac Opti w/ Harness is $69. I'd go with the cheaper Keywiz Eco 2 for sticks and buttons (www.groovygamegear.com) and the Oscar (www.oscarcontrols.com) pre hacked mouse for the trackball. You would have a heck of a time hacking a keyboard to get 2 sticks with 6 buttons each.

Awesome I'll look that up...
Is there any benefit with me goin' for the 49-way joystick over the 8-way, personaly I was gonna do 8-ways but I saw that and was thinking maybe it's better to have 49 ways? Althought I didn't see alot of documentation sayin' what aws so great. Thanks again =)
