What Mame games to you play to test a slow computer?

I use DK to test if it is a newer version of MAME on an older PC.
jholman76:
I like to use metal slug, KI, SFII:CE and MKII.

Since those are the games I'm mostly going to play anyway, they better run well!

You can tell if MKII is running well if the sound is spot on. if it cracks or hiccups, then you have issues.

if you have stuttering sound, drop the Samplerate to 22khz it works wonders.  ;D

+ 1 on Donkey Kong as a test.

That's what I did. Works OK.

Would it be easier on MAME if the machine ran DOS instead of Windows XP?

My thinking is that half the hang comes from windows' extra features. Should install XP light or run some XP diet program. lol.
