Yeah, I know where this conversation starts to go...

It's just that the old machine I have to use won't handle all the new changes in MAME. Based on countless posts and recommendations for what I'm trying to do (80's classics only), the best performance for my hardware will be the old pure DOS build.

Just remember, sometimes an idea becomes an obsession :)
