I'm running MaLa on a P3/933 with .84, and it's fine for all the stuff I want to play on there... Classics through very early 90's.

Do you have to use an older version of Mala with that spec or can you use the present version and an older version of mame ,I have .89 and I was going to use a celeron 1gz . would that be ok?
Also what would be the minimun video card needed  :dunno

I think MaLa support only goes back so for MAME, but the version you are using will be no problem.
Any video card is fine, as MAME and the front ends all support plain old 2D.

Mala supports older versions of Mame too; you just have to have a Mame.xml file.  Older versions of Mame were not capable of creating the mame.xml file.  Most people running old versions of Mame with Mala will download and use a newer version of mame just long enough to create the mame.xml file that Mala needs.

Ok stupid question probably, but will my roms from MAME32 run with Mame .67?

The roms for Mame and Mame32 are the same.   However if you are using a recent version of mame32 then your roms are rather recent also.  Therefore you will have many roms that will not work with mame .67 because roms are constantly changing with each release of Mame.

You will need to either find an older rom set or use a rom manager such as Clrmame Pro to rebuild your rom set which may work for most roms.  Of course if your roms are pretty old you may be okay.

Will CLRmame fix the bad roms?
