I'm planning on finally using GroovyMAME, and about a year ago when I was looking into this, W7 64-bit was the preferred OS.
With the newer cards now supported is this still the case or can I just go with W10 Home?
Thanks

W10 works fine. haven't tried W7, though.
-
With the latest emudriver beta W7-W10 are all supported. As far as I know there is no reason to go for W10 unless your hardware needs it, though.

Using win 7 since several years : the best I've seen so far.

Over the years I've gone from Win95 stripped to the bone, to Vista, a few Linux flavours in between and finally ended up on Arch Linux. Of all the *nux distros I've used in anger Arch Linux is probably the most frustratingly unfriendly one, definitely not for the inexperienced Linux user.
However it was worth moving from Windows and all the hassle that went with it, because the frustration of sudden random moments of jerky emulation caused by Windows just deciding it needs to thrash the HDD for no reason at all, vanished the moment I dumped Windows.
Windows liked to do that when I was on a good score in Pac Man.

I've never had that problem with windows. Maybe it was something in particular you had installed, like an anti-virus app.

Are you kidding? Windows used to do that all the time. They only really started optimising it in Win 7. That's the main reason people started keeping their games on a separate HDD to the OS.

Well. here we are again. Isn't this what I was complaining about? There is no kernel mode OS apart from DOS. Windows sucks, Linux sucks, Xbox... what can we do? Commit suicide?

Oh dear.
