Awesome! Too bad it doesn't look like the one in the episode.

Go back to somewhere between .55 and .60, that system SHOULD play all of those games full speed. Using newer versions than that will simply reduce the number of games you can play, not increase them (newer versions will not be able to handle many of the games the older versions did, and almost none of the games addded in the newer versions that are actually worth playing will run full speed on that processor, just crap like bootleg Moon Cresta clones and stuff like that).

It would sure be nice if someone made a chart of the recommended MHz for each MAME version

Excellent idea.  Let us know when you're done with that chart Intruder :D

I don't have a hard and fast chart, but basically here it is in a nutshell.

Normal installs.

800mhz or less, Mame .55
833-1 ghz, Mame .60
Greater than 1 ghz Mame .70
Greater than 2 ghz current version

Dedicated vertical installs.
500 mhz or less, Mame .55
533-800, Mame .60
833-1ghz Mame .70
greater than 1 ghz = current version.

You can use newer mames on dedicated vertical installs because almost all the REAL CPU hogs are horizontal games. Although there hasn't been anything vertical worth mentioning added to mame since like .70.

You can obviously tune this a little bit, if you are a Mortal Kombat freak trying to get full speed on those on your sub 1ghz system then try .55, .60 and .70. Previous testing has shown me that .70 is the faster MK driver on MOST systems, but .60 and .55 are faster on some systems. In general though newer=slower.
