P166 vs Cel366 Performance Tests - AdvanceMame
<< < (2/2)
lokki:
Do you have smartdrv loaded.

I'm really surprised to hear it takes 3 minutes to load the game....
(even on those systems).
Edit. Missed the memory on those systems.I think you would need 64 Mb at least. But 32 may do the trick.

What command line parameters are you using to run?



MonitorGuru:
Yes.  1 meg allocated to smart drive in all the above tests.  I bumped it to 4 meg and it did lower it to a little over 2 minutes on the P166 with 16 meg, BUT caused swapping out when the game loaded for the first minute or so before numbers stablized.

AdvanceMame.83 is about a 32 meg file, thus the long time to load.


Command line params:  AdvanceMame -rol %1

Preconfigured all arcade modes for arcade monitor.

More data later... hopefully SOMEONE finds these anal number taking worthwhile when considering a system.
paigeoliver:
Please test older versions though, as using new mame on old hardware doesn't make sense, as new mame i incredibly slower than older mames.
