blitz roms are jittery
kiddk1:
tried playing nfl blitz 99 and 2000 and both are jittery in sound, like a broken record player and movements are slow, is this a corrupt rom? i am running a amd 2ghz with 512 ram and have about 80 gigs or free HD space, nvidia 256md graphics care.

A computer does not exist yet for the home user to runs these roms

I think you'll find that the hard drive games are still far from perfect, even in the latest releases of MAME.
Due to the higher level of technology in those machines, I don't think emulation will ever do the trick as most 3D games feature dedicated graphics and sound engines which are still not sussed out. It's just like Killer Instinct - Still nowhere near at the level I enjoy, so I prefer to play it using the U64 emulator which does it so much better, but still has a few bugs.
I know there is no other emulator for these games, but I think it's still relatively early days and until MAME includes coding borrowed from outside projects I don't think the progress will be as rapid as it was for the oldies that were cracked in their dozens.
Plus, here's a thought - run everything through DOS or Windows 98 at the very least. XP is just crap.

Doesn't have anything to do with using a hard drive. It's the level of technology.
Emulation takes a LOT of pony power. There was an analogy I saw once that went something like "if the original CPU ran @ 1MHz, you'll need at least 25 times that to achieve decent frame rate" or something like that.
So for your Blitz board running @ 200MHz, you'll need a 5,000 MHz computer to run JUST the CPU. Graphics processing is extra, since that was a different CPU on the board.
