Yeah, with a computer that the MAME devs call "ghetto hardware", I'd go back to at least 0.92 which was the last version before Aaron's major sound re-write.  If it's still too slow, keep going back until you find something acceptable.

Yeah, this is exactly the problem you are having.  With the new sound system mame echos/skips when the processor is being taxed too hard.


Also this is a stupid one, but just in case.... ac97 drivers have "environment effects" one of which is a echo.  Make sure that crap is turned off.  ;)

I had similar results with certain games that were graphic intensive such as Mortal Kombat, etc.  I was running a P3 1ghz with 1 gig ram.  I upgraded to a P4 3.2 ghz. and it fixed my problem.  I would make sure that there is not a lot running in the background that could be taking away from your system resources.  Free up as much ram and cpu usage as possible.
