It has a 200mz proc and 32 mg of ram can anything be played on that system?
-
Check out Vantage (http://www.mameworld.net/pc2jamma/vantage.html). It's all vertical games and it should run perfectly on that PC.

You could also used an older version of DOS MAME and run many classics well... I think it's version .37 that is popular for old machines.

What's up FRP? Good to see you.
I'd throw it away. I'm serious. If you set up emulation in it, it will take time, a video card, a keyboard encoder, buttons and sticks. And after all that you'll only be able to play the games in vantage. To me it's not worth it. For a few more bucks you could have a 500 mhz comp that will play tons of games and run a decent OS.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys.

Personally I'd make a jukebox out of it.

jukebox would be like the cheapest application for it ...

really? what kind of software would you guys use?

I like Arcade Jukebox for it's simplicity (And because I have my collection organized by genre, not by album) but there are lots of options. Check out the sticky in the Jukebox forum. That should point you in the right direction.

Check out the Audio forum (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/board,5.0.html) for all kinds of software, including some written by board members!

I also triple the suggestion not to waste your time/money using that for Mame, not when you can get a 400-500 mhz comp local (no shipping) from ebay for $20 any day of the week.

*sigh* wish I could do that in my area. Everything is far off.
The one place I found that was fairly close wanted to charge me a $35 pick-up charge. I said no way.

Keep checking Peale, eventually you should be able to get one from a private seller (as opposed to a business).
