So you'd have to run a pre-MMX version on that CPU. ;) In all seriousness, I've suggested to the MAME devs that maybe the MAME code should test for minimum CPU feature compliance and spit out an error instead of just crashing like it does now. |

Hi again! Well, right now I'm using MAME v101, and some games are running slowish. How much difference is there in going to mame 071b, and WHERE can I find it? ??? Thanks for all your feedback!! Nicholas |

ROMs are another story. You'll find that a lot of your existing ROMs will work across wide range of Mame versions, so just try it and see. ClrMamePro is the program that is supposed to be able to "downgrade" your ROMs I think, though I've never used it. Anyway, you can get old versions of Mame from http://www.mame.net/oldmame.html This is a direct link to 071b - http://www.mame.net/zips/mame071b.zip (right-click and "Save Target As...") If you prefer Mame32 you can find old versions at - http://mame.joymonkey.com/mame32/ - though not all of the downloads always work there. |
