I have read several post about what type of hardware is needed to run NFL Blitz and other newer games in mame. I don't want to drop money on I-7 980x processor if it won't run NFL Blitz flawlessly. I was also wondering if the e-8600 processor would be just as good as the I-7 980x processor to run NFL Blitz flawlessly. Plus when people tested these processors they did not say if this is playing the game or just the intro screens. I would also like a nice list of the hardware too. Thank you for any help. |

I chose the alternative solution. I ran NFL Blitz and Gauntlet Legends on the Dreamcast emulator instead. It's pretty much arcade perfect if not better. |

I'd have to agree with Delusional. I've done the same and just added the game to my collection of titles for N64 and Dreamcast to ensure smoother frames and more playability. Investing money on newer and faster processors for the sake of a handful of games isn't probably your best option in terms of where to allocate your money in a mame project. And for the record, in case you elect to ignore the advice and still go with the new processor, to my knowledge the game still plays choppy with the new i-7 from what I've read. Again, for a few games....just get the roms for a console of choice and run them that way wherever possible. |

My daddy always said, "Dont use pliers to do a wrench's job" ;D This is sage advice. I am running a 3.8 Ghz AMD Phenom II quad-core with 8 Gigs of ram and a 10K rpm HD. Blitz is STILL choppy :banghead: . But so is Donkey Kong & Scramble if I turn on triple-buffering in mame.ini. Mame is not optimized for playability, its for chipset level emulation accuracy (but i'm sure you already know this). The dreamcast emulated versions of many games are better than their Mame counterparts... |

Mame is a cool emulator for older games and will be good on the new ones just take the time for it... and use other best emulators instead... Model 2, CPS3, DC, PSX, American Laser Games, Actionmax and other emulators available for your pleasure. |
