(1/2) > >>

so i finally got around to fixing my MAME PC and i put mame32 1.03 on it and a new set of roms just to test it out before i go setup a FE. and every game i try runs super slow, like even basic stuff like pacman, and im running a pretty good PC

athlon xp 2000
256mb ram ( im getting more soon i just had this laying around)
100GB 7200RPM ultra133 HD
onboad video

i just freshly installed windows xp pro on this brand new HD. i didnt have the driver cd for the mobo but i went to the soyo website looked it up made sure i installed them all, display audio and some 4in1 pack, got everything they had listed for the mobo, its the right ones i have the manual still.

is there any benchmark programs that are free download i can try running? i ran it through pcpitstop.com full scan and it checked out fine.  also is there somewhere i can download older mame32 versions to test out

You can find most versions of Mame32 at that site.



I had the same problem with .103 until I enabled DIRECT3D.  Once you enable that box, uncheck the texture management and rotate effects boxes.  Then everything ran fine.

tried the exact mame32 and roms on my main PC runs fine...


i tried using direct 3d and turning off those 2 boxes, same problem, i put on frame skipping on automatic and it seemed to make it run smoother but you can see its skipping frames in mspacman and it shouldnt be. im not sure if its the PC running slow in general or just mame, what else could i test
