Does anyone know if you were to build the fastest PC out there today would it run all MAME games 100%. Also Dolphin Emulator and all others. Does it even matter the speed or size of video card or Ram. I see Intel has the new i7 6 core processor Has anyone set it up. Basically I want to run Hyperspin with as many emulators as possible 100% and also have enough for the near future. Any Specs recommended |

Some MAME games are probably going to require PC's in the 8 to 10ghz quad core range to run at 100%. Dolphin emulation is still pretty far from perfect, but my AMD 925 @2.8 seems to run some games pretty good, but others like New SMB Wii run pretty slow. |

Even less than dazz, I'm running an AMD Athlon II 260, and it can handle very many emulators just fine, including Sega Dreamcast and ePSXe at standard 60fps emulation, with little to no slowdowns. I'm running these CPUs with an HD4350 video card, HDMI out to LCDs @ 1080p, on a clean install of windows xp, with the majority of the services disabled. This is a 50$ cpu, so I'm sure you'll be fine with nearly anything on the shelves today... |

This kind of question has been asked many times before. Personally on my latest project I bought an i3-550 processor and OCed it to 4.2 GHz. That's a decent OC (it's @ 3.2GHz stock) but it won't run all games in Mame. I didn't OC it for Mame as such because I wanted it to run PC games also. I will say that Hyperspin runs much sweeter now the system is OCed. I have HS set up with all the bells and whistles at max. and at stock 3.2 GHz it ran fine. But there were some stutters and glitches here and there with the themes loading etc. But since the OC it all runs like butter. You should just concentrate on getting HS running like this first because you're never gonna get ALL games running perfectly on any system built today. You'll still run about ~97% of them at full speed no probs though. |

No, because not all games have good emulation. A lot drivers are still preliminary and some games are just broken. |
