You're offering $600? You could buy the $250 cab in Virgina can get it shipped to you for $350 |

Last I checked he was down to $200 if it could be picked up this weekend. Can't believe he can't find somebody to take it off his hands. |

Have you enabled the multiple-core feature in mame? --- End quote --- MAME won't use the third core, but there might be a slight improvement from it covering other stuff running in the background. I'm not tech savvy enough to give you a definite answer. I'd take a faster dual core over a slower triple core. I only ended up with the triple core because it was the best bargain I could find at the time. I use MAMEPlus to tinker with the multi-core functions on games that aren't running full speed. I'm not sure what my settings are for Carnevil. --- Quote from: F-14 Tomcat on May 24, 2011, 07:04:54 pm ---I should have questioned about your hard drives too.

It was a seagate and died 4 months after installation. I ran it off an ancient IDE drive while waiting for a replacement and didn't notice any difference. I've seen some 1.5TB drives for not much more than that recently. |

I'd make him an offer for the guts (wiring, board, guns and power supply), but they wouldn't give me an account over there and left me in some trapped poster newb forum that was ignored for 2 weeks. Then they posted I had to donate to get an account. Oh well. |
