| Low end PC for mame - recommended games? |
| (1/4) > >> |
| jgossin:
My employer will be selling several low end PCs they no longer need. 333Mhz CPU 64-128 MB Ram I'm guessing only 4MB for video ram and probably on board sound. I'm thinking about running DOS mame on this, unless someone recommends another format of mame. I was wondering if this would be powerful enough to play games like Double Dragon 1 & 2, Bad Dudes, Crime Fighters 1 & 2 Golden Axe or even some shooter classics like 1943. But if I'm stuck with Pacman, Dig Dug, etc, thats ok I guess. If anyone might have a list of some 80s-90s games that could run on this setup please let me know. Thanks! |

btw, when you say selling... you mean for about 10 bucks or less right? You can get a MUCH faster computer for maybe 25 bucks on ebay or computer liquidators. Computers loose their values quickly... And when you get to a certain age / speed they sell for about shipping costs. |

I don't think those games will run properly. If I remember correctly, I wasn't able to play the late 80's side-scrollers like those until I got myself a 500mhz machine (and then I used Callus to run them). |

I don't think those games will run on that PC either, i don't even think that PC will run on that PC. |
