Mame cabinet project with a 266 mhz???....

Pages: << < (2/3) > >>

SithMaster:

well i would say use the p266 and use the other for other apps.  but i havent tried running the games you want on my 266 so im not sure if they could run decently.  if you could try the 266 then make a def decision.

Kremmit:

I am fairly certain you are hosed on the NeoGeo, TMNT, and StreetFighter.  A Pentium is really only good for older games like Pac-Man.  You might want to look at an even older version than .55, maybe .37b16

hayabusa_fmw:

then i should Really take my pentium 1.2ghz....

hell it isn't doing nothing now, it's only downloading files & stuff a pentium 266 can be put as a server aswell.... i don't have anything to do more than that with it so it would be better to take the best machine to play good & no lag & stuff
than to let this machine only take files.... it doesn't take much of a Memory to do this task:)


I think i made up my mind

but

What setup should i use with my 1.2
I want my pc to start in mame so i can only scroll down & boom start a game & exit too ... To rechose a game no need to close the whole thing each time.

anyone know?

daywane:

I am finding it very simple to start Mame on start up
do a search on you PC for start up
1) right click on start menu button
2) explore
search start up on c drive
now if you want just Mame's menu . Just put a short cut of Mame.exe
in there

if you want a game to start right away ( go to the software part BYOAC)
there is a thread I started on asking for help starting Ms Pacman on boot up

Others have explained it much better than I can. I will post a link .

what is cool about this... you favorite game boots up. ( very slow to boot up on my PII ( I am running xp pro on the poor beast))
then you can hit escape and the mame 32 menu is there.
I have 18 other games to play with then
My cab is a Ms Pac so... with just a 4 way only so many games are worth having on it.

Shifty:

I have a P2-350 and it *just* runs Streetfighter II at full speed. Double dragon should run fine. Probably not much luck running Neo Geo games though ...

I don't know about switching your PC's, as the 266 will have a lot of trouble burning dvd's, even at really slow speed. My P2-350 couldn't burn CD's past 8x.
