GeForce 3 question

I have an older Sony Vaio desktop, P4-1.6Ghz, 1 gig ram, and a geforce 3 card with s-video out

my intention is to turn this into a MAME arcade style machine

I've never used the tv-out on this thing, do i have to do something to activate it, or can i just hook it up and it will work?

anybody know?

Just hook it up to your "TV in" port and you're good to go

Better drop it into a garbage can and buy Raspberry Pi. A credit-card size computer for ~$30 is able to run Ubuntu and Debian. It can run Kodi media theater to play HD videos, IPTV channels etc. And course it can emulate all old arcades (including MAME of course), computers (Commodore 64, Atari, Spectrum, Amiga, IBM PC etc) and game consoles (NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, Dreamcast, PlayStation 1 and many-many others). Over 50 systems supported. Here you go: RetroPie - Retro-gaming on the Raspberry Pi

You can connect it to your LCD panel via HDMI interface an use any wireless controllers like keyboards, mouses etc. You may even use your XBOX or PS game controller to play the games.



Also there are many DIY sets to make it look like a real arcade machine: Raspberry Pi arcade machine - Google Search

What he said. I've always been a traditional MAME on PC guy. I even have my own Bartop that runs MAME on an old PC thats mounted on the back panel...



However, with what is available for Raspberry Pi these days, meaning the support and pre concocted packages, plus all the other stuff that Raspberry Pi can do, at such a negligible price, if I was gonna do it again, or if my old board broke and I needed to fix my machine, I'd go down the Raspberry Pi route without a second thought. Even the fact that a lot of the overheating issues would be non issues would be enough in itself...
