Older, optimized versions of Mame?

[404]

I remember duke over at emubase used to compile mame binaries optimized for certain CPUs. The last update he posted was 0.122. He seemed to have removed all of his older builds. I have been trying to find optimized versions of 1.06 for quite some time now. Does anyone happen to have these saved somewhere? I'm looking for the pentium3, athlonxp and pentium4 optimized builds.

think i should have put this in the software forum section instead.

nobody has these files? they are described in the following post

I don't recall optimized versions really being better.

that's what I'm really curious about. I'm thinking about compiling a few builds of .106 myself to see just how much performance i can squeeze out of older computers.

Always felt these kinds of builds should have been archived a bit better considering there was such a huge divide in performance from .106 to .107

The thing is, the move to D3D, particularly as it is now, is such that you need a pretty beefy system (at least compared to 2002 basic consumer model PCs).

Anything that won't handle .106 will be win98-ville or less.

Try .84 for P3 and .106 for P4.

I may just try to compile a few versions of mame 1.06 targeted for various processors and run some benchmarks to see how that goes.
