Mamewah runs slow - see Oct 22 post
<< < (14/17) > >>
daywane:
but he is talking about a spinner and a track ball.
no need for analog Mame. he can have both on any standard Mame with xp
You will not be using both at the same time.
both can be plugged in at same time but as far as I know there is no game for both track ball and spinner,
XP will See both controllers as a single mouse. he can play centipede, hit escape and play tron with out moving anything.
I am only persistant on this becouse I do not want anyone to do what I did.

The earlier post was talking about dual trackballs - i.e. Marble Madness, CABAL

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.

I was thinking of trying MAME Analog+

But the oldest build for XP with multiple mice support is MameAnalog+ 0.76
49 way support was added in MameAnalog+ 0.77

and we're talking about 600Mhz machines here

Two points - if you are using the 49-ways through the GP-Wiz49, then it is just an analog joystick (well not JUST an analog joystick), but you could run it in MAME 0.17.  No need for 49-way support in Analog Plus.

We are talking about 600Mhz machines, but we are also talking about CABAL and Marble Madness, etc.  Not exactly the most CPU-intensive games.  Use Analog Plus for the dual trackball (dual spinner) games (if you plan to play them) and something older for everything else.
IntruderAlert:
yes, but the oldest XP build with dual trackball support is 0.76
Do you think it will run OK on a P3 600?

For CABAL or Marble Madness?  Probably.  Read my reply again.
