Star Wars - MAME settings help required please [SOLVED]
<< < (2/3) > >>
JustMichael:
This wouldn't help and might hinder your sound but for starwars, I use -beam 1.75 -flicker .25 and -resolution 1680x1050 (my lcd monitor's resolution).  Star Wars looks like when I was a kid.
JODY:
I'm running it fine on a 1.6 Ghz PC with 512 MB of RAM at 1024x768.  Don't recall the exact version of Mame and don't have it handy at the moment.  The latest does stutter the sound but the older version is fine.

Don't bother - anything above 512MB won't give you any noticeable performance gain.

Agreed from what I've seen on my own (similar) setup.  However, depending on how you have XP setup (do you have a FE as the shell, are you using TinyXP, turn off nonessential services, etc.), it'll still be beneficial for the OS running MAME.  Also, I found games (particularly Neo Geo) load faster with more memory.   
shrunkenmaster:
Thanks again guys, appreciate the advice. I've used TinyXP on other computers so I'll do the same here.

Then I'll be able to install my 4-terabyte Hyperspin setup and launch Gauntlet Legends  ;D
