Best compatibilty/speed combo MAME version for low-end system?
(1/3) > >>
MartyNg:
Does anyone have a recommendation for a version of MAME that will run good on the following system while still playing a lot of games?

Win98SE
Athlon 750
192 Meg RAM

I NEED compatibility with games that take a while to play through in which people can jump in and out at will, such as TMNT, Simpsons, Tower of Doom, etc. Classics like Ms. PacMan and Galaga will also be played but will take a back seat. Gracias.

Raine or MAME .36

I've been told versions 36 and 55 are the two versions people like to use for older systems, for your machine v55 should be good enough.  I had a similar machine, except it was 800mhz and win xp, and ran version 96 of mame, it was able to run all of the older games and several of the newer games without a problem.

Is that 750mhz? Dude you can run almost everything with that! I would recommend you use fastmame84 http://files-upload.com/files/173598/fastmame084u3.zip
Just keep clicking in the "Show More" link in the bottom of the page until you get to 84. I'm currently using FastMame 71 with a 500mhz pc. I run all emulators including NeoGeo full speed! I didn't see a need to go up any higher since not many games have been added since then.

TMNT, Simpsons all those games will run full speed on your setup. All games run on mine with little to no frameskip!
