I haven't had the chance to compare it yet, although the guy who pointed it out to me swears by it. http://redump.emubase.de/mame.php --- End quote --- You get some speedups from it, but generally speaking nothing more than 5% on average. There's also "fastmame" which is compiled with Intel's commercial ICC compiler (as opposed to GCC which is typically used), which makes things nice and speedy. If you have a few games on your system that are borderline performance, then the optimised binaries can help. For instance, I was only just getting enough speed out fo an AthlonXP 1500+ to play gunbird2, often dropping a few frames when there was plenty of onscreen action. A quick recompile with -march=athlon-xp, and I notice the game is much smoother. Again, it only helped because I was borderline anyway. You're not going to magically get 60FPS in calspeed all of a sudden thanks to the optimised builds. :) |

I emulated MAME for a long time on a 400mhz Celeron. Some 4 player games will run fine, but expect to turn of the sound emulation in others. SFII didn't run too well with the sound emulation endabled. I believe some NeoGeo games ran pretty well though. Bill |

i ran xmame->tmnt on me linux box @ 500mhz (192mb ram). four players, no lag in sound or play, and my graphics are a voodoo 2 and an SIS 600! (old for those of you who dont know). :laugh: And hoagie, which things do you need drivers for? If you use dos i will almost guarantee a performance boost. |

cant find the dos drivers for the stupid onboard stuff for this dumb emachine |
