Quote: No, most people into MAME are running 64-bit Windows 7.
I never said most weren't. I'm saying there is a large minority of people that still use Win XP 32-bit. More than 25% of PC users are still running Win XP. That's more than 1 out of 4 people. That is a whole lot of people. (That does not mean most people though, of course.)
Btw, I'll be getting a new PC before the end of the year, but even then, I'd still like to see MAME supported on Win XP 32-bit operating systems because I know that there are many people that still use that OS.
