I can tell you all from experience that there are NO real issues, regardless
of your hardware platform (until you try to use a motherboard that lacks a
parallel port, that is!) My Vector MAME is running fine under DOS on a P4
setup, with all controls via USB (and that includes trakball, panel
controls, and a numeric keypad for Space Wars and Sundance.) Sound is
courtesy of an pci SB 4810 (built in amp so you can just jump it to the
speaker in your cab.)

If you would like, I could repost a link to my drive image - just add ROM's
and sound samples! Let me know.
