What to do when games run slow
« on: July 14, 2005, 10:52:27 am »
I have noticed that a lot of newer games on my emulator run slow. Is this just because the speed on my cp needs to bne updated?

Lots of factors play into this:
What speed is your PC?
Just cause a game is 'playable' doesn't mean it will run 100%,
 even on the beefiest PC. 
What version of Mame are you using?
Did that game run better on previous versions?

etc....  etc....

if your game is running slow, you could always run to the mini-mart for a slushy

Try using an older set of MAME.

I like .61, it runs great on almost anything.

Dig it?
