: Can I get experiences and recommendations involving the reliability of Windows when playing MAME games? How often does one's system crash under these circumstances? Obviously running everything from DOS would be better in that respect, but I'm trying to get an idea of the frequency of Windows related problems. I'd hate to be two hours into a high scoring game, only to have my system decide to quit, necessitating a re-start or re-boot. As far as minimizing problems, are there any recommendations concerning versions of Windows, MAME for Windows, partitioning, or anything else?

: Thanks a lot.

I can't even use MAME in windows... I can use MAME32, but my FPS takes a huge it.

And Windows 2000/NT, you might as well forget about... I couldn't get it to work at all.
