QUESTION: mame with gui on XBOX or PC?...

Archived from groups: alt.games.mame (More info?)

Hello,

I used to use a mame gui a few years ago and want to start using it again.

I have an XBOX that I don't use anymore and want to sell, unless I have
reason to believe it will work better than a PC to play my favorite arcade
games. So, I'm starting at the beginning again. I've got the new mame32
and need to start getting the roms, but I wanted to know if anyone felt that
using a PC was better or not than using an XBOX machine to play these
arcade games with a gui interface.

I would love to read any comments on this before I spend any more time
or money (eBay, I imagine) getting rom files.

Thank you in advance.

RMH

... and i forgot to add that you'll need to chip or soft-mod your XBox
before you can play any of the above. Possibly, you already know this, but
since you didn't mention it in your original post..
