3149 in 1 Games Family Jamma help!

[Scantron5k]

Hello everyone, I'm brand new here. I have just finished converting my Mortal Kombat 2 cabinet into a multi jamma switcher bored with all of the original Mortal Kombat pcbs as well as an additional slot which I have installed a 3149 in 1 main Jamma PCB. It has the games family front end on it, and most everything runs the way it should. However, there are a good chunk of games that require more processor speed and they are very laggy when I try to play them. Pretty much to the point where they are unplayable. I am looking for some help in beefing up this mame board.

It comes with a Pentium 4 2.8 gigahertz processor, and I would really like somebody with some knowledge in this category to let me know what I could do to make the laggy unplayable games, playable again.

I have no idea how much I can beef up the processor on this particular PCB or what it will do to it. Please help!

results may vary, but... you can probably upgrade the CPU and RAM and get some more performance out of the machine. maybe a P4 3.0 or 3.1ghz  could push you over the edge and make the game decent. it could also not. hard to say. really depends on what hacked up version of mame they got in there (or whatever) maybe it's just not optimised for those games because it's an older verson (maybe) again, hard to say.

you are already into it for whatever you paid for the xxxx-in-1 board. so throwing a faster processor and a couple gigs of ram in it can't hurt.

these XXXX-in-1 boards are all made with the interest of cheapness in mind so they don't care if you can't play it or not. they already got their 100 bucks.

if you look at the board you should be able to figure out what kind of CPU (socket) it has and buy an appropriate CPU to upgrade it.
