edited topic...MAME + XP pc and a 36" tv?

Recommended Posts

I have the following items: an extra XP pc and a 36" tv. I was hoping to run MAME on my ps2 or x-box but it just seems out of my reach. would it be possible to just use the pc and the tv(my pc monitor is only 17") and buy any extras I need to have MAME on the bigscreen? what all would I need?

 

edit: the pc has 512MB ram with a AMD XP 2000(if I remember correctly) processor. it also has an Extra HD heatsink(aftermarket) for extra cooling. it also has a DVD drive(player only).

Now if they only had one for the PS1 :roll:

 

I very much doubt the Playstation has anywhere near enough power for MAME. Hell, the Dreamcast has just barely enough power to run the earlier games.

 

If you're looking for a console that can do emulation, your best options are the Dreamcast (which you've already tried it seems), or the X-Box, which you'd have to mod/exploit.

what about controllers? can I just buy an x-arcade and use that? do they have to be configured in MAME in any way?

what are some good controllers to use? are they any like the x-arcade that may be better? I would like to find one with a rollerball plus all the standard stuff.
