I use Tiny XP. It's a stripped down version of XP. It boots and runs quick. Here's a link to a review: http://www.secguru.com/link/tinyxp_run_xp_from_400mb_hdd_and_under_40mb_ram |

I use FreeDOS on a Duron 600 with a 10gb hard drive and 128mb of RAM. It runs AdvanceMAME 0.78 and AdvanceMenu from around that same era. It runs everything up to around the SF2/Neo Geo level without a hitch. It takes about 10-12 seconds from the push of the power button to playable. It's four years old, and I have no plans to upgrade/change it in any way. In the past, I have usually built cabinets for friends using FreeDOS. I built one with XP due to special requirements (needed USB for an analog controller), and it seemed stable enough, but I wouldn't do it again unless I had the same special requirements. I love OS X, but I wouldn't waste a Mac on a MAME machine unless I was making something tiny and wanted to use a Mac Mini. |
