Why install MAME?
It’s possible to run the Windows version of MAME under WINE – however I found the performance hit to be unacceptable, and most games were unplayable. So the ability to run a version of MAME under the default Xandros operating system was preferable, and this method works, although the actual ROMS that work are a bit hit and miss, due to the version of MAME being a bit old. Hopefully someone with more ability than me will be able to find a more recent version of MAME that will run on the Eee.
