A while ago I wrote a benchmarking program that could benchmark all MAME games and ran it over everything. I ran it on a slow system - Intel Atom 330 - and found that most games can run fine on even this slow system.
The program I wrote, or the results I already acquired, could, in conjunction with a reference system or two, allow suggested minimum hardware to be defined for each game. An automated benchmark process would, I expect, be accurate 95+% of the time. If ever there were inaccuracies, they could be corrected by hand.
1. What I'm getting at is, run an automated program to generate the suggested requirements for all of the games, save that in mameinfo.dat.
2. As individual games are benchmarked more thoroughly by actual people, update mameinfo.dat accordingly.
The benchmark results are a bit old and are at:
