That would still make it faster than the computer I used when I first tried MAME, that was a Pentium 75, in 1997, the version was .1 but I liked a different Emulator back then more than MAME, it would run Pacman at full speed which MAME wouldn't do on a P75 but it do come close. The RPi was cheap for was I used it for, though it NOT for playing MAME, but works for what I want it to do.
