what fornt end and emulators to use?
jhanson:
Older versions of MAME will run fine on that machine, at least in DOS. I'd recommend using MAME 0.55 - 0.78 on a machine like that. However, if you're planning to use Windows so you'll have USB support, I'd stick to the lower end of the MAME version range I gave.
As for front ends, I like AdvanceMenu in DOS, but it's a pain to configure. Another good but simple one is GameLauncher. In Windows, I like how customizable Dragon King is, but I'm not sure it would run well on that PC. MameWAH is the popular choice, but I've yet to figure out why.
youki:
Yes, you can use old version of mame .
And XP and Atomic Fe on your configuration.
My Test/Dev computer for AtomicFE is on a old celeron 533Mhz 256Meg RAM and an old ATI card.
It runs under Windows XP , FastMame 0.71 and Atomic FE.
Of course i can not run recent 3d games, but for game i like , like Donkey Kong, Galaxian , Pacman..etc.. it is very good.
