Speed

I noticed that in mame 147 many things are slower than before.  I did some f11 frame skip stuff and found our was at 70%  question is, is this most likely to be slow computer?

I have mini atx atom, but quite new.

Don't know about 147 but I can reliably say elevator action 2 is fairly demanding.  It certainly won't play on my Pentium 4.

even though the atom seems fast, it really isn't.

they enabled the multithread so it seem like it has 4 cores. more is better right? nope.

it's okay for a hum drum computer, but in all honesty the atom can barely do hd video.

we have a dozen or so intel D525 boards that we use for jukeboxes.

Every version of mame is slower than the previous version, it is one of the features.

So assuming u forgot the [ sarcasm ] tag on the last one, it seems to be a combination of atom + game + as mame gets bigger it gets slower.

However, i must say that on same computer when loading .146 rom with mame 0.146, the frame rate is 95%, so the version does have make a difference.

I have also found a lot of working roms that stopped working in 147.  No replies to my thread on that, however it is getting annoying switching from one front end to another for a bit of mk3
