 I have never come across software relating to this hobby that does not run in 64 bit OSes.

please make a youtube tutorial on getting the atari jag emu working on your vista 64. I could never pull it off.
Jdurg:
The original poster is talking about MAMEing using Vista, or any other 64-bit, OS.  I've got MAME running BEAUTIFULLY right now on my system.  Just spend five seconds on this forum, or on the internet in general, looking up how MAME runs on a 64-bit system.  The original poster asked about setting up their system for MAME and NOT for various random console emulators.  Therefore, what you posted is 100% a lie.  If you can't get your system up and running with 64 bit MAME, then make sure you actually have a 64-bit CPU and OS and that you follow all the instructions.

If the OP had asked about what OS to use to run random console emulators, then maybe you have a point.  I don't know.  This forum is by default about arcades which means "MAME".  If a poster is talking about console emulation, they will make mention of it.

So once again, I would like you to provide me with some proof that MAME64 is worse than MAME32 with regards to stability and performance.  I don't feel I need to prove anything since it is widely known.  (You are basically asking me to provide you with proof that the earth is round).
Jdurg:
In addition, I run VirtuanNES, Project64, FEC Utra, ZSNES, SNES9x, Mupen64, Visual Boy Advance, and NullDC without ANY issues whatsoever.  I've also tried numerous front ends without any problems at all, so it looks like the issue is on your system.

BTW, here's the thread that undeniably proves that 64-bit OS is better than a 32-bit OS.

You changed topics from mame to "I have never come across software relating to this hobby that does not run in 64 bit OSes." and asked you to back that up. AND now you want to get back on the topic of MAME only. oh, wait, now you want to list all the non-mame apps you run-emulate.. but don't want to prove anything? I'm not going to argue with you because you are clearly arguing with yourself.

sorry, not trying to be rude, but internet arguing is like eating air, it doesn't do anything for you.

Also, in case anyone else reads this, if you are into PC games with batch files, Vista64 is horrible. My front end allows you view PC games just like mame, nes, etc. I love the newer car games, and other pc games with minimal controller needs that run smooth with arcade controls. But most of the games made for XP that I have come accross do not recognize controls in Vista64. It was rather annoying. Some games are starting to be made available by microsoft updates, but most require changes to the actual game, and companies are not "patching" the games because they are working on newer games.
Turnarcades:
I think using older OS's is a much better way to go for MAME cabs as newer OS's are too resource-draining.
