decisions for MAME machine

2004-06-03 Thread Steve Tremblett
I'm making a MAME cabinet and I'm starting to evaluate as much MAME-related software as I can find. Seeing as there is some Linux software out there, I was wondering if anyone has done a project with a FreeBSD box? A lot of these projects use DOS SVGA - how does FreeBSD compare in terms of perfo
