how small is your apartment?
It's a house, but this is the one room dedicated to retro gaming. It's already housing a full-sized Golden Tee cab, multiple PCs, a couple of CRTs, a PVM, and several flat screen monitors. Throw in a love seat and a couple of bookshelves and I'm fresh out of space. Because of this, I want to build this setup into one of the existing bookcases which should double as a pretty nice setup (it's got a fold-down part which is where I will set the joystick when playing games, otherwise it will all be closed up in there when not in use).
My only issue is running MAME on the PC in question...people have been offering advice for everything but that! When I start it up, it just spins and spins until I get the "MAME has stopped working" box...I'm running a freshly installed Windows 7, which could be the issue. Any tips on where to look for issues like this? Google hasn't been a lot of help.
Thanks for all the other feedback though, at least I know I'm in the right place

I guess I misread your help question. What version of mame are you using for the PC? Windows 7 has nothing to do with it.
Is that 7 a 32 bit or 64 bit?

Delete MAME and go to the website to download and install again. Make sure you download the same version of mame as your rom set. Windows version has nothing to do with it.
