A few general MAME queries by a relative Noob.
CheffoJeffo:
Also, what OS ?
dailygeek:
will an old version like that play sf2, final fight and sfa3?
I'll give it a go.
Running XP home
Thinking of trying Tiny XP?

You may read through this thread regarding XP:

It may help you strip out some services that don't need to be running that will affect performance. I agree that 256mb is probably too little for XP.
Regarding Mame versions and the games you want to play, you can look at Maws to find out what version(s) the roms were updated in and try those versions. It's also possible and probably likely that they had roms change in different versions. You can run multiple versions of Mame so that the games you want to play, perform better.
I'd also suggest making sure that you don't have a bunch of crap starting up when the pc boots. Anti-virus, Quicktime crap, etc. Launch MSCONFIG and select the startup tab. You can eliminate alot of the crap that starts when XP boots.

See this and my billion other answers recently. Seems like everyone is asking this question at the moment.
HaRuMaN:
With those PC stats, I would recommend Windows 98 SE. I've built a bartop out of a PC with worse stats, used command line MAME and MALA and had very good results.
