OK...I think I'll go cry now...so old...so old... --- End quote --- How 'bout computers without monitor. Where the "Print" statement in basic actually meant printing to a dot matrix. Really, no beep? Even the terminals that main output device was a printer had a bell character. More recently I remember having to pay $10 to upgrade Dos 6.21 to 6.22. Upgrade!? It was a bug fix! Like Win95a -> win95b (or sr2.5). |

And what about Linux? --- End quote --- For performance, I think a pentium compiled official mame (win32 mame, not mame32) just because you get all the cool extra features you wouldn't get else where. Though Mame Plus does add alot of functionality. As for FEs right now I use lazarus on this machine because I finally have it setup and can share the config:) I use to use arcadeos but it is outdated. My cabinet is currently running linux and gxmame. Once I get a windows machine in it I will have a custom FE. For fast FEs I'd think gamelauncher is aobut as streamlined and simple as you can get for performance . --- Quote ---Well, i'm 19 and i remember playing spectrum and playing prince of persia in my monochrome pc! --- End quote --- Hehe, try playing frogger on a trs-80 on a 12" black and white tv! |
