MAME xbox errors + slowdown of games = headache
« on: November 11, 2010, 08:47:21 pm »
Hi all this is my first post ever so be kind  :)

i am running mame through my xbox in a arcade cabinet that i bought and have the following problems

i get memory error when trying to play newish games, is this because the xbox cant handle the game that needs to be played?

also when some newer games load like MK2 or MK3 for example, the game seems to lag, is this because im trying to use a xbox??

thanks for the help! im need be ill swap it out with the PC when i have the cash

Your xbox is a bit short on memory for newer games and is also on the slow side.  Plays classics well but your need to upgrade to a faster PC to play newer games.

Xbox is too slow. You need to upgrade to a Y or Zbox.

ZING!

for certain games, like MK2 and MK3, you can use the versions hidden in Deadly alliance or in the Midway games pack 2
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

No you need the latest CoinOPS that will play Mk and MK2.  Plays them fast and sweet.  :cheers:
