Mame Performance Problem
<< < (5/5)
kelemvor:
I guess I'll probably end up in this same boat.  My Mame PC is currently a P3 1Ghz with 512 RAM.  Not using it much yet but my joystick and buttons should be here later this week so I can start trying out more things.

I do have a P4 1.7 (or so) that is currently my jukebox / SageTV PC but that doesn't need a big processor so I could switch the two if needed...

I guess time will tell.

And in case the OP is still checking this thread...  Hi from a fellow Milwaukeean.
Howard_Casto:
I wanted to point out that downgrading mame to an older version is NOT the way to go. Sure you might get better performance, but you'll get the old, inaccurate, scratchy, sound emulation.  Since a frame skipping of 10% is only going to be noticable audio-wise it would be the same difference. 

Also anyone trying to run mame in xp with only 256 megs of ram is kidding themselves.  512 for xp is MANDATORY even for just running the os.
