Ok, so I put my MAME and Attract Mode stuff all on an external HD so I could make it portable (I just have to make sure to change the drive letter when I move it). When I get it all ironed out, I'll add an internal 2 TB SSD. I want the flexibility to have all of the ROMS and CHDs stored on the same hard drive to make adding games to my list easier.
I just tested NFL Blitz 2000 v1.2, and looked awsome!
Plugged it into one of the old Dell's I have, and GT Fore 1.00.25 runs perfect at max graphics.
Intel Core I5-6500 3.2 GHz
That said, is NFL Blitz still the gold standard for putting the processor to the test, or is there a better game ROM to try?
fallacy:
whats the frame rate on Gauntlet Legends now a days?
Tommy714:
I can't remember, how do I check that?

Runs flawlessly

Okay, cool. I forgot that I haven't tried the original Fore. I have only tested the 2006 Complete version. Still, good to hear that it's working well on your system.

I'm going through a major upgrade to my make cabinet after 20 years. I'm running XP on an older Mame. It's hooked to a Tv CRT and it was awesome.
The Tv is dying finally and I cannot find another one that fits. So I am still in denial but I know I will have to move to an LCD screen. And to do that, I will NEED the HLSL/BGFX shaders for CRT effect emulation. My tests indicate the shader effects are driven my the graphics card and that a LOT of power is needed. We're talking modern graphics cards of the last 4 years. And they are so damn expensive thanks to crypto (even though that's a joke now lol).
I wish I could find a smaller format pc (SFF) that could run all pre 1995 games with full CRT effects using the integrated card (iGPU) graphic processing. If anyone know what I'm talking about please speak up!
