Should I upgrade with a cpu or ram to play mame???

Pages: << < (2/4) > >>

Should. I check Metal Slug 5 on Celeron 1GHz (but it's very weak Celeron on weak notebook) a while ago and I have problems with this game, speed is about 43 frames.
On Intel 1,2 should be OK.

rollerball:

thanks guys....anyway would I get much of a boost from putting more ram in the p3 600??or not really worth putting more ram in it until I get a faster cpu then??

ahofle:

You most likely won't get a boost in MAME from a ram upgrade (you may be able to load larger rom sets with more RAM though).  As others have said, the only thing that really improves your MAME performance is a better CPU.

gonzo90017:

I have 400mhz celeron with 128mb ram and everything runs full speed even the metal slug games. If you insist on using mame use Fastmame instead. It should run close to or full speed on your setup.You should at least add 64mb more. I wouldn't use mame for NeoGeo games use winkawaks, Neorage or NeorageX. You MIGHT also have a problem with capcom games. If they don't run full speed use Raine. If you plan to play Metal Slug 5 or some of the newer kof's you should have at least 192mb just because of the rom sizes.

We talk about MAME. Do you have full speed on MAME (for example version 105) in Metal Slug 5?
