MAME on HT?

Hi All,
Anyone playing Mame on their HT?
I've got about 500 or so roms and really enjoy playing some classic arcade games on my projector

sort of makes the 14 inch monitors in cocktail tables seem obsolete!

also playing a fair bit of Colin McRae 4 with steering wheel etc... great fun and much better sound than the old bleeps and blips of the yesteryear arcade games in Mame!

now if only I could figure out some way of using my keyboard and mouse comfortably on my couch for some FPS gaming.... *sigh*

I'm confused. Where else would you play a Broadway musical except on a Home Theater setup????

btw, MAME stands for:

Multiple
Arcade
Machine
Emulator

just in case that wasn't clear!

I haven't tried in on my projector but I have lots of ROMS as well. A friend of mine went so far as to buy an older stand up arcade game and put a PC into it with all the MAME ROMS. He used pro grade joysticks and controls. Very slick setup.

TY - In this case MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. Basically it allows a PC to emulate old arcade game hardware and folks have captured the ROM game code and made it available. More info: www.mame.net . Of course you may be joking and I'm wasting valuable pixels.

Edit: Looks like EchiDna beat me by 1 minute.

I suspected as much and it is appreciated.
