erm... unless that game uses some 10 years old technology (e.g. model 2 hardware), there is no way that the game would run full speed on a computer under MAME.
I agree that probably kids would play the game full speed the PS3/XBOX360 port rather than go to the arcades, but for sure they would not play it through MAME, not even if they could get access to a CERN supercomputer...
