Response to Windows XP and MAME

from Bill Francis (billsvilla@aol.com)
I just want to let everyone know that I'm using Windows XP and MAME32 and it works GREAT! I have installed it on multiple machines and have NEVER had a problem whether it's 95/98/ME/XP/NT/2000. No matter what kind of system you are running you should be using MAME32. Get off the DOS kick unless you are a big fan of the early 80's, seriously. MAME32 uses your already working Windows drivers so you won't have any problems. In all the years I've used MAME every person that's had a problem I've fixed in a matter of minutes. They either downloaded some other version which doesn't always work or simply didn't read the directions on how to set it up. The only problem anybody should have with MAME32 can be easily fixed by going into OPTIONS then DEFAULT OPTIONS. You can change your sound settings, you can change your screen refresh rate, you can turn on your mouse, you can change your screen size (which I suggest 1024), and if you get a blurry screen or funky lines you can change it so it doesn't try to stretch your display. I have over 400 games (only the best and most classic of games) and they ALL work. This is a DELL 8200 Series P4-1900 with 512MB RD-RAM, 120GB HD, Turtle Beach Santa Cruz Sound Card, NVIDIA 64DDR TI500 Video Card, CD-RW, DVD, and whatever else you can think of. :)
