I am such an old school gamer i have an xbox 360 sat there in my back room and i just cant help myself going back to mame.(so sad)
My 1st experiences of arcade games were space invaders with green colour filter and phoenix and both were the sit down table top versions with reverse screens for player 2. great times.
MAME on the 360 would be cool. BTW, the new i3, i5 and i7 Intel cpu's make laptops MAME monsters. I am getting a 14" Sony with an i5 520. It even plays a lot of the 3D MAME games smooth.

Not sure on the framerate question.

Mame coming through my lcd in hi def from my xbox360 would be great.but for now i will have to put up with my xbox 1 mame which is still a good mame to have but a little limited on the more recent roms.

Even if the cpu is fast and can handle the graphics - does it all boil down to what the emulator can handle?

Most MAME emulation is still based on cpu muscle and minimal 3D assistance. This is due to multiple 3D chip platforms as well as proprietary 3D chips as well.

DOA, Rival Schools, Tekken 3 and Soul Calibur play great, if you have a pentium duo or above.

A real test is if you get NFL Blitz games to play smooth. The new i5 520 even plays some of those games smooth.

The error is fairly descriptive. You either need parent ROMs for the ROMs in question (meaning they are derivative works) or you are trying to use the wrong version.

See some of the advice in the SDLMAME thread (oldpmaguy recommends a program that can validate your ROMs), and try looking in some of the many fora that exist to discuss emulators and MAME, as this is not specific to the Maemo version and out of scope for Games here.
