Which emulated games are the most heavy on the cpu?
XNIF:
I have searched and i can find little sippets of info on what games are very difficult to emulate.
I would like to compile a list with the games that are the hardest on your cpu.
If it's possible i want to include the minimal cpu power needed so when people want to buy their mame-pc they can see what games they are missing if they buy underpowered machines. I hope this makes sense, english is not my native language :)
When people post games and specs i just change this fist post and add the games in this list. Just add it like this :
Name of game platform and emulator minimal specs and tricks for faster performance for at least 98 %.
* Gauntlet Legends - Arcade/mame - 5 ghz Core i5/i7 or up.
* Gran Turismo 4 - ps2/pcsx2 - 4 ghz Core2Duo
* Starblade - Arcade/mame - 3.5ghz Core2Duo

Most 3D games for MAME after 2001 require extremely heavy CPU power. With a loaded 4ghz machine some are nearing the semi-playable state.

Yes i know. But there are really big differences in CPU load in those games. Most will do fine with a 3ghz Core2duo. But some need much more. I want to compile a list with those games.

A mame profiler would be excellent.
It would run through your gamelist, using playback files and return the min% max % and average% of emulated speed
It only exists inside my head unfortunately

you mean that every game would be tested on your hardware and gives you an indication of the emulation speed?
