Did that ad say "Ass in a box"? No? It should have...he should make crates though, he does that well.

Why is it people are still selling MAME's with ancient as shit PC hardware? A 1.8Ghz Celeron won't run most of the newer stuff that was found in MAME 0.60 FFS...though some people think 20-25fps is playable, it is highly unacceptable to me.
 
if there are people that would even pay half the asking price for a mame machine of that quality then im just going to quit my job tomorrow and start making bar top mames in my garage

i dont think he is making them to sell, it looks to me like one he built for himself. my horizontal MAME has a 2.6GHz processor and just over 500MB of ram and it works fine for the vast majority of games. my frogger has an old laptop from about a dozen years ago, dont know about the processor but it has a whopping 128MB of ram and still runs all the classics fine. i dont think its a big deal to sell a personal MAME cab with a shitty computer in it, in fact one of my favorite things about MAME is that you can build a rig easily with pretty much any shitty old giveaway PC and beat to crap JAMMA cab. the price isnt even that bad considering it has a trackball and spinner, theres alot of expensive parts in there. if i built one of those i wouldnt sell it for a nickel under $600. i would never build an ugly piece of shit like that tho lol

The retarded design was my main comment.

You definitely aren't running any recent version of MAME on any computer like that, or are only running stuff that's been in MAME for a long long time. They made some heavy core changes in 0.86(?) that put a huge dent in performance. I've got a p4 2.8Ghz with 1GB of RAM in it, and there are plenty of games I play that run like crap on the latest version of MAME on it.

I got sick of messing with Rollback sets for older PCs, and having certain games run like ass, so I just spent a couple hundred and built a new PC for MAME instead.
