Hmmm- now that you guys mention it tho-

I'd like to play Gauntlet, Tron, Spider-Man, and X-Men as well as all the 80s games. Will this run ok?  What about some of the flight sim games- AfterBurner, Star Wars, etc- will it run those ok?

I cannot thank you guys enough for all the posts!

Hay!  Yeah all games mantioned here are going to play f-i-n-e.
AfterBurner....not sure on this one, it is an old so will work well with you 800megahertz....but does this one even work in MAME?  I remember not getting it to run, oh well off to play some After Burner  ???  Ok I'm back, nope After Burner no workie....BUT After Burner II works great!

Good Luck

I think the "old computer will be fine" thing works for most people until they try to play any of the Mortal Kombat series (actually most of the Williams games from that time period) with a recent version of MAME.  The sound skips and stutters horribly.

It seems that the MAME team keeps improving the Williams sound emulation requiring lots more CPU power.

So if you want to run the (only) latest version of MAME and play MK3, then you need to bite the bullet and get a new computer.

Or you can do as some in this thread have suggested and run multiple versions of MAME.  If a game won't play correctly on your computer, try running (just that game) in an older version of MAME.

perfect. And yup- never been into the whole MK thing, but then again, I've never really played it too much. DOH!  Thanks guys!  It's off to build up the OLD school computer!

My original MAME cabinet system was an Athlon 600, which I soon upgraded to an Athlon 800.
