Even a cheapy Raspberry Pi or a clone can run MAME... it just has to be a really old-ass version. (See: Arcade 1Up.)
They probably went with FBA because it's easier to modify its user interface and add features, like that "upload high scores" deal they're bragging about. That, and it's much less intensive than MAME.
