Wasting $$ on OS for cabinets?

As for MAME, xmame works decently.

I don't believe xmame has been updated in quite awhile. SDLmame is being actively maintained and is a much better bet.
Guaranos:
FreeDOS is good on older hardware, if you don't need USB for anything. And it's free, hence the name.

BUYING an OS?
That's the craziest thing I have ever heard in my entire life!
saint's note - rest of post (referring to TinyXP) removed until someone can tell me if this is piracy or not. No piracy please.
NIVO:
agreed with saint here. Look, distributing XP in any form is deemed illegal as tinyXP was once a regular ole copy of XP. You may strip down your OWN copy of XP from its original form to create a custom version as you like to use personally(see microsoft TOS on if you need separate license PER useage of OS). To do this, you can go out on the web, and find the tools necessary and do it at your leisure. But again any ILLEGAL DISCUSSION of how to obtain stripped down copies readily available will not be discussed here.
Clarification is still needed, but you see where we stand on this. Game On.
spystyle:
I'm pretty sure if you own a factory copy of the OS, you can download a stripped version of that OS, and we all own XP.
Even if it is a "gray area", if you own an XP license then you own an XP license...
Oh well, sorry if I rocked the boat. But still, buying an OS is the craziest thing I have every heard of, especially here. Anyone smart enough to build an arcade machine is more than smart enough to acquire an OS.
Cheers,
Craig
