Is this correct?

I think the minimum requirements for neogeo where around 700Mhz.

Hi,
Not really sure I agree with the above statement. While it is true that the drivers for certain games get slower (as the emulation accuracy improves and speed hacks are removed) from version to version. In general I don't think each version is slower than the previous version.  (altough this has been true a few times, it is not true each version).  The opposite also occurs (newer versions are faster than previouos versions)

For example SuperNova games are considerably faster on mame 86 than they are on mame 85.

NeoGeo is faster on mame 84 than MAME 83

For the neo geo games, if you use neoragex they should run full speed.  I am able run the metal slug games on my Pentium 2 366mhz laptop at a good speed.

paigeoliver:

Um, the Neo Geo games run full speed IN MAME on a Celeron 400 if you use version .55

This constant arguement never ceases to amaze me. Sure Mame .86 might run neo geo faster than .85, but I promise you that .55 smokes them both. I'll run a quick test on my laptop.

paigeoliver:

Ok, here you go, here is how that fast mame .86 stacks up against .55 and .65
