p4 @ 2.53ghz w/ 512mb ddr - which mame version?

Pages: (1/2) > >>

tony.silveira:

hi all,

recently picked up two "lil champ" arcade games that i want to convert into mame cabs for my nephews.  these machines have a dell gx260, running a p4 at 2.53ghz with 512mb RAM, onboard video, 40gb HD.

i'm currently installing tinyXP.  but i'm curious, what version of mame should i be targeting?  i'm assuming this old machine won't be able to run anything that's relatively new (nfl blitz, etc.).

anyone have any recommendations as to how far back in mame i should go?

many thanks

I'm running .96 with a P3 800Mhz with 512RAM.  Runs the old stuff well, golden tee era has some skipping in audio, video is fine.  Anything pre-1994 seems great though.

FALSE:

Should play all everything up to 3d games without a problem.

I have 144u3 running on a P4, no graphics card, and a comparable amount of RAM.

3D is definitely out as others said, but you're also going to have trouble with a handful of 2D games.  I'll check my games list tomorrow to try to get you a list of my problem children.

Still I'm running over 540 games at full speed.

I use .80 on a P4 3.0Ghz and it works fantastic for most everything.  I then use .144 for anything dual core and above.
