I forget exactly which version it was but at some point in MAME the blitter code was rewritten to use MMX. 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!!

we can not say were to get them :-X :police:
( it is a NO-NO to ask) :-X :angel:
I do not know how to do it. but there is a program that will take them back.
some one else will have to pipe in and tell ya the name.
drawing a blank at the moment.

There is no rule against telling someone where to get an old version of Mame. 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.
