Which one?  I'm thinking of using one of these with TV-OUT to build a MAME "TV plug-and-play" box for my brother...

I don't know where you get that 69 is the last version.

.69 was the latest version i could find from mame.net. i don't know how to compile and links to the dos sources are unavailable. where didi you get yours?

What speed is your CPU? Mine is 1.0ghz. Some games are still slow. I have to keep VSYNC off, and I also set all vector games to use DMAME 0.55 (too slow in .78)

My front end is GameLauncher

i am intending to use this p3 1133ghz/128mb ram as a dedicated mame'ing machine but i am currently testing on a p233mmx/64mb ram pc. i don't know how to use frontends yet.

From the top of that page:
"if you REALLY need a new older version which is not yet linked from this page, try http://www.mame.net/zips/mame???b.zip or mame???s.zip, replacing ? with the version number."

So, you can get version .73 at: http://www.mame.net/zips/mame073b_dos.zip

Or vesrion .88 at: http://www.mame.net/zips/mame088b_dos.zip

or version .92 at: http://www.mame.net/zips/mame092b_dos.zip

etc

But you can't click those.  You'll have to copy paste them

thanks, i saw that but gave up when i could not get 110 down to 105. i now have v100 dos. regarding old versions, i frequently see .37, .55, .92 as being popular when i search this forum. what's so special with these versions?

Epia M-10000, the 1GHz variety.
The project page is here:

Pay no attention to the photos and description of the HDD stuff-it's all gone now.
The downside of using them (in DOS anyway) is since there's only 1 PCI slot, I had to use the onboard video, which has a few resolutions that don't come up properly.  The game Journey (escape) was one of them that I can recall that didn't work.  Not that I really want to play that game, I just wanted it on my cabinet because the concept was so silly.  :)
