Running CHD games
simplygriff:
Just curious...
Will Killer Instinct 1 run on your machine? I'm planning on getting a 2.6GHz P4 and am just curious if it will run when I get it.
Piss Ant:
I've played KI1 & KI2 on a AMD 2000+ 256 Ram machine with no slowdown. You need to go back several versions of your Mame32 (Try around .71 or so), of course you'll need to get the version .71 rom for it. Each version adds more tweaks & each one slows things down.
Good Luck,
Piss Ant

KI1 runs flawlessly for me on my 3GHz machine. A buddy of mine runs KI1 perfectly on a 2.8GHz machine. The KI2 blip I get is very rare, and I haven't altered the frameskip settings. I'm sure if I tweaked that it would be okay. I know KI2 is tougher to run than KI1, but if you have a 2.4 - 2.6 GHz P4 I'm sure you could pull it off. Or you can do what Piss Ant suggested and go back to an earlier version of MAME. That solution helped me run MK2 and MK3 much better on a 1.2GHz machine I originally intended to use.

Such a thing will (almost) never be available, since harder-to-run games are being added all the time. Maybe a 5ghz machine would run all currently in MAME...

Does anyone have a suggestion to get these to play at proper speed in MAME32?
Thanks!

Best bet for running these on current hardware is to underclock the game processors from the cheat menu - see
