Am still using MAME 0.143 on my dedicated mame PC, it has a 2.8GHZ AMD sempron cpu, ATI X600 GFX card, 4GB RAM and running GroovyMAME. Deathsmile runs at around 85% speed, was wondering if this was due to GPU or CPU limitation when it comes to these new CAVE games....i know in the past MAME always been about 98% CPU power and 2% GPU is that still the case? |
| emphatic:
64 bit build will increase speed if you have a 64 bit O/S. For sure. |

Yeah i thought it would. The only reason i asked is on my main PC (i7 4GHZ, ATI 6970 2GB) the game ripps (obviously), so was just thinking if it was either GPU or CPU dependant |

search for slowpoke mame, that's suppose to be a version of mame compiled to run those games faster for older pcs but, at 4gz you should be fine. I get no ripping on a i7 at 2.8 ghz (or 2.6, can't remember) and a 3.1ghz i3 home pc with a pathetic graphics card. Try turning off your graphic card enhancements, it may also have to do with your mame settings. These games are cpu dependent. |

Well yeah to be fair i think the AMD Sempron is a budget CPU that probably why at 2.8ghz im only getting 85% speed form Deathsmile....i guess now the CAVE driver has been removed from the latest version of mame we wont see any performance enhancements from the CAVE games |
