Hi to any 'MAMErs' on AP.
Does anyone have any other preferences i should consider??
MM.
My Mame cabinet runs happily on a 800Mhz P3 with 640M of ram, but my arcade interest doesn't go much past the eighties - Space Invaders, Galaxian, Packman etc. I also don't use the latest version of Mame - I stopped at the last one that maintains hiscores (V1.07 maybe?) OS is XP. Machine also runs ArcadeJukebox.
Depends a bit on what frontend you use, MameWare for me, but if you plan to run in cocktail mode then I suggest making sure the video card will support rotation in hardware - I think all nVidia chipsets do, then I use a shareware program iRotate. Makes life a lot easier I reckon.
Having just bought a pin my Mame machine is not seeing much use!
cheers,
David.
