like the subject says I just got a free pentium 3 800mhz computer with 128 megs of ram. I want to get a arcade vga card and put it into my candy cab. Im going to install xp on it but I need to know which version of mame to run. I havent dealt with the slower computers and mame so Im not sure what my best bet would be. I want to be able to run all of the neo-geo games. Will this be possible? Also is there anyway that MKII will run on this system? |
| AtomSmasher:
with only 128 of ram I'd recommend installed Win 98 instead of xp. I can't really say which version of mame is best for you, but I had an 800mhz machine with XP installed (but 3x as much ram as you) and I had problems running games like bubble bobble 2 or puzzle bobble 2,3,4. It could run them, it just stuttered a quite a bit at times. I was able to play all versions of metal slug and king of fighters without problems though. |
| muell67:
your right about windows 98. I will use that instead of xp. Anyone have any advice on wich version of mame? |
| SirPeale:
Wow...that computer is pretty much worthless. You can't run anything on that. I'm suprised you can get it to boot. So I'll do you a favor and take it off your hands. No need to thank me. |

i run xp pro - just be sure to turn off all the visual eye candy. boot up time is a little slow, but once on, mame runs fine. i play just the classic small footrprint golden era games. anything modern sturtters. |
