PC for an Arcade Cabinet

<< < (5/6) > >>

Afterburner:
My full size cab has a full tower PC.....Athlon XP 1600 with 1GB RAM.  No problems running any of the games I play.

I have a 3yr old laptop that is my racing cab (not yet built) and it works fine too.

MacGyver:
I just wanted to chime in with a "don't turn on scanlines".  I have a Quad-core i5 running at 4ghz with 8gb of ram and an SSD, and it stutters on Players-Choice 10 games with scanlines turned on.  I paid way too much money for my setup, and didn't think anything could make it stutter, so make sure if you go with a smaller setup, that you make sure you try every setting before thinking you need a faster setup, it could end up you are only one setting away from being perfect.

Mysterioii:
That seems odd... I've never noticed stutter on playchoice 10 games on my 8-year-old single-core 3GHz machine when scanlines were on... 

MacGyver:
Sorry, I meant scanlines from hlsl through a shadow_mask_texture under 0.145.    I posted just to show how important settings were.:D

Just throwing in my $.02, I would strongly suggest looking for something on craigslist or local seller. You really dont need anything too speedy to have Mame and other older emulators run well. The cabinet I'm building is being powered by a Dell Mini 9 netbook and an external hard drive...so far in my testing im getting great speeds on everything...97% of full speed on Street Fighter III Third Strike without frame skipping as an example...
