Mame is NOT Native to Linux and you're just setting yourself up for a fall when it comes to drivers, controllers and interfaces. Best Regards, Julian (Fozzy The Bear) |

are you suggesting that I should run $$$ windows, Linux is free & since when doesn't sdlmame work. I use it on my desktop com. I guess I could LOOK INTO xmame, advancmame... anyway does anyone have anything to say about hardware? |

Is it just running mame? More can't hurt. Newer versions of mame have been making some games run slower and you don't want to be held back because of a memory bottleneck. |
