Killer deal on MAME PC or good desktop!

90% of the Mame CHD games run too slow on any system.  You'll have to wait a while for a system fast enough for them.  In the interim, run the PC versions, or get a Dreamcast.

1. It doesnt have a DVD/CD-R (incase you have mame roms on DVD-R)

Easily upgradable, OR you can pull the drive to install the ROMs on another computer.

First, you shouldn't have *all* the Mame ROMs in your system, esp. since you're almost certainly not going to play them all anyway, especially the slow-as-death CHDs.  Second, if you're looking for an all-in-one solution, this system is not for you.

--- End quote ---

Upgradable, but again not the end of the world.  Unless you're running XP on that, then you're going to need a ton more RAM.

I think no matter what people get, the specs are going to be about the same. Perhaps a sticky should be created for "Minimum" specs, "Recommended" specs, and "Ultimate" specs for MAME cabs.

There already is a sticky for that.

Thats my point though. Its going to cost you more to upgrade. I'm not saying its not possible to upgrade, but its nice to have a package all put together.

most new games use harddrives, which means yeah they will use CHD format.


and btw, i dont think Killer Instinct 2 runs good enough to play without lag
