I did say go Nvidia :laugh2: :laugh2: I don't know what it is about ATI and emulation but it seems to be just so much hassle all the time. :dunno
(Actually the post where I said go Nvidia isn't there as when I went to post it you had posted that you had purchased a card already)

well you almost told me ;)
The compute now has an Nvidia 210 1gb card..... and.....
Very fast with no obvious lagging that I have noticed on either 24hr or indi 500.
However the sound is jittering.
Would the sound be jittering because of the ram only being 1gb? or is the sound just like that on those games? I have not downloaded any other roms yet as I was just experimenting.
The game play is very good on these two.
what are your thoughts oh guru ones :notworthy:

However the sound is stuttering.
Would the sound be stuttering because of the ram only being 1gb? the processor sepped? or is the sound just like that on those games? I have not downloaded any other roms yet as I was just experimenting.

Not sure if the memory would affect the sound like that. I'd think 1GB would be enough, but you are using Vista.
Most likely culprit is the processor. You might see enough improvement by disabling background services to get by.
Uninstall anything that isn't needed for emulation, turn off auto-update, turn off system restore, remove any anti-virus software.
(or if you have an xp key, just start over again with xp. MAME would benefit from using XP64, but it's harder to find EDIT: scratch xp64, your processor isn't 64 bit)
I use tweaks from here as a guide:

Before getting into any of that, make sure you're using the multi-core exe for m2emulator. ;D

Yeah I'm like bad mouth on this one... vista is going to really eat up your resources. It has a spiderweb of background services. Xp would be better, but play with the settings first to make sure it isn't something obvious.

Sorry but is this the multicpu version of the emulator or an add on?
And no I wasnt, I was using the standard.
will give this a go.
The computer has been taken to bare bones. I was concerned about vista too after some interesting reading on google.
Getting closer and closer thanks to you guys :applaud:
