Looking to upgrade, need recommendations for full speed MAME titles
ABACABB:
That is absolutley true about MAME only utilizing 2 cores. Get the fastest dual core processor you can find. I can play NFL Blitz at full speed (most of the time) and what I mean is the game runs great, sometimes when a play is over and I go belly-flopping on a downed opponent, I get a slight stutter but when the game is live and the play counts it runs smooth. I am running MAME64 ver .141. My processor is a Corei5 650 @ 3.2ghz w 6gb RAM. As far as Daytona, I run it in a Model 2 emulator (Nebula) and it runs perfectly. My frontend, GameEx, mixes both MAME and Model2 games in the same list so when you choose a game it picks whether it should run in MAME or Model2 and launches the game in the appropriate emulator. Works very good and keeps your games together without having seperate lists for different emus. Maybe this could help you out.

Thanks for the info. One of the main reasons I want to run Daytona and the other Model 2 games through MAME is that there appears to be a problem with running Nebula Model 2 through an ArcadeVGA card. I have two gaming PCs, one mainly for consoles that I hook to my 51 inch HDTV and the other in my arcade cabinet, which runs through the ArcadeVGA card. The colors are all screwed when running Nebula through the ArcadeVGA card, and this appears to be a common problem. It works fine on my other PC, which uses an ATI Radeon Sapphire HD. Anyone else have issues with Nebula and the ArcadeVGA card or have any solutions?
