Suggestions for hardware for current MAME
wivelden:
Can anyone suggest a motherboard, amount of memory and CPU etc for a cocktail cabinet for the current version of MAME? I know it's not worth getting anything higher than a dual core CPU but what about motherboard and memory etc? Is it worth getting a barebones system? I'm in the UK so only UK suppliers please. Thanks!
GregD:
What are you using for an operating system? That is a factor when determining what you need for memory etc.
Kangum:
it depends if you want to just run the classics or stuff with chd files. the chd games are fairly demanding but honestly for a cocktail you should aim for the mainstream classics which even atom computers can handle.
wivelden:
Will be running windows standard 7. Not too fussed about the chd games as most dont work anyway yet.
wweumina:
Depends on the front end. Hyperspin is more demanding than a lot of games (that is not a criticism btw). If ur buying new you can get away with the cheapest core i3 you can find or an Athlon II or above to run things reasonably well. Even the AMD E-350 should run mame pretty well though hyperspin would baulk at it.
