This is precisely what annoyed me. It sounded like everything about Puppy Arcade was copacetic except that the MAME included should not have been SDLMAME. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to run pSX or Desmume on a P3-500 either, just skimming the list of what's included.
(Incidentally, GroovyArcade is better for 15 kHz arcade monitors - it runs everything in MAME at true native resolution. But of course it's also got that damned let-down SDLMAME so again you have to use decent hardware).
