minimum requirements for PC

hehe. that is not rude.
Not sure I guess. I was daydreaming at work and a mame machine is something I daydream about so I thought i would ask about a PC that I am about to retire.
Maybe your answer is the right one. I have never tried to set all that stuff up so I am sure that would take me quite a while to find all the software and what not.

All you need to test that machine out is a copy of mame32. No setup necessary - just plug in roms and play.

thanks! I downloaded mame32 and SF rom to give it a whirl. My work PC is real fast so I will have to test at home. Good to see it is nice and easy.
So is this the emulator that most people run on their mame machines? The you guys use some sort of front end to pretty it up and automate mame32?

If you are using a front end, it is better to use the command line mame. I have had some rom compatibility issues with mame 32.

thanks so much for taking the time to answer my questions.
I will give mame32 a try on my home PC to see how it behaves.
So most people run a command line mame behind a front end? So the front end simply looks slick and "shells" out the command lines to start the particular games? Seems pretty easy. I bet I could build a local Flash application as a front end to shell the command lines.
Neat.
