Running CHD games
Scoobie:
I'm running a P4 2ghz, 512 ram 128mb ATI card machine - in MAME32. I can get games like Blitz 99 and KI2 to run, but they are way too slow to play.
Does anyone have a suggestion to get these to play at proper speed in MAME32?
Thanks!

Invest in a Cray super computer and then port mame to it! Seriously, they don't play on any commercially available hardware ATM.

What would be considered a super computer? I think the fastest processor available right now is a P4 3.4 ghz.
Would this be enough, and how much total ram would I need?

My primary computer is a P4 3.0 GHz processor with 1GB of RAM and can run KI2, with an occasional blip of slowdown, but it still has problems with Blitz. I'm hoping I'll be able to run Simpsons Bowling on the computer when it's playable, but since most of the CHD games are too much for my PC it's probably a lost cause.

Does anyone know how fast a computer will be needed (when available) to faithfully run ALL the games in Mame?
