I have tried using computers that slow, you will not get good results running a windows version of mame with Neo Geo games, etc on a 266mhz pc. As far as a direct boot solution, Try GameEx (do a web search for gameex, you will find it). there is a tutorial on the site on how to get your windows machine to boot right into it. I have set up several computer with that software, I was able to use Mame 32 and gameex together and it works beautiful, however you will need at least a P3 800 mhz with 192mb of ram for good response. good luck |

#1 What version of mame to use? a) mame 56 or less #2 is there a way that windows always boots in Mame ?? a) yes... copy mame exe to sart up folder #2b)is there some kind of mame windows? mame os without installing windows? a) yes. several versions of boot cds have been built for linux I have had no luck. one has not been built with kiss. ( Keep It Simple Stupid) that I know of #3 I will use a hot rod or xarcade hook to my cabinet will i be able to scroll down in mame? a) yes. newer versions of mame will do this out of the box. I have a PII I am seting up now for vetical games. Mame 56. I added a program to start up folder named joy to mouse. Lets me use the joystick as a mouse #4 The games i will play is mainly Street fighter II sf III neo geo & double dragon & turtles is it enough to run on the 266mhz? A) not to sure. my usb on my PII is not working to transfef the game to it to check it out. I am only set up for vert. other PC's do not havea floppy. I use compact flash to transfer from pc to pc |
