Well I got this stupid idea while getting my busted leg looked at(my cab landed on it). I took some of my mame roms and ran it through mame32, and put them on my flash drive. At the doctors office , he has a spare pc he keeps lying around (no idea on the specs, but it's a P4, with XP), I deciced to give my mame a shot, and it had no noticable slowdown or loss in proformance! so my question is, would it be fine if I had an X-arcade dual hooked up to one usb port, and a flash drive on the other? I'm thinking if I have a smaller hard drive I could save money, and a flash drive would last longer(no moving parts?) maybe get a small powered hub to run different game emulators on different flash drives( I play mame, GENS, and snes 9xw,...and the occisional neorage). what would be the downsides to this? I don't care if my cab shows windows(at the moment,every time you turn it on, you see DREAMCAST, so who's kidding?). Opinions?
