Have you tried playing MacMAME yet? If so, how is the performance and what are your specs?

Yours truly,

I'll try it tonight if no one else posts results by then. 🙂

That would be awesome if you could do this. I am most interested in video and sound "choppyness"

Anyone else?

Hey IO, any luck?

No worries, its going to be a while. I couldn't unload my BB gift card , so I am going to buy a new printer instead and have to earn the cash the old fashioned way.

However, I am still interested in MAME performance on a mini...Somebody's tried it already...

I'll give it a try tonight. 😀

Interested in a particular game performance? My prefered classics are Rygar, SlapFight/ALCON, Black Tiger, Samurai Shodown, R-Type.
 
I havent. I just wanted to compliment you on the politness of your original post. I dont think I have ever seen anything so formal and kind on Macrumors.

Not that there are rude people on Macrumors. Just that this jumped out to me.

Have a good day. And in case I dont see you, good afternoon, good evening and goodnight. 😉
 
The one thing I would suggest as an improvement to the original post would be a descriptive title: like "Any Mac Mini owners used MacMame yet?"

Oh don't let the polite facade fool you, I can (and have) been rude on these boards too - sometimes I just can help it especially with stupid people! - see sig - 😱 🙁

Thanks for the compliment though 🙂

1942,1943,1944, Ms Pac Man, Bubble Bobble, Donkey Kong, MK (the original), TMNT, Paperboy, Rampage are just a few I love - although there are hundreds of others.

For anyone wondering, KingMAME v2.0 will begin in a couple weeks and I will once again be documenting it with pics. See pics of KingMAME v1.0 at http://jeremyron.com/gallery/MAME

What is the total price for a King MAME? IF I were to build myself.

Total on that one was around $800ish in parts,lumber,tools,fasteners, etc. Mind you I already had the monitor, so I saved money there. If you are wondering where to find things, PM and I can help you find some vendors I used. Of course, my friend Google helped a lot.

King v2.0 is going to see a few changes. MDF instead of plywood, 21" TV instead of computer monitor, integrated speakers, laminate instead of paint, and of course - powered by a Mac mini.

Which is why I want to know performance.

Man, its going to take me a while.
