MAME IS @!*%#$!!!
(1/6) > >>

The whole reason I converted the cab was to run mame and it is sucking some seriously fat soggy sausage. SNES, SEGA, NES, and ATARI all run perfectly. GBA has to skip a few frames but it isn't noticable to the non-scrutinous. MAME is freakin HORRIBLE!!!!  :angry:

I have my monitor set to 60htz (60 fps) and I have to reduce Mame to 4 FPS to be able to get it to run at 90%!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why the crap is this happening?!?! I'm using an 800mhz computer w/ a 64mg GeForce card, and none of the other emulators seem to be having a problem with that. What can I do, b/c it doesn't look like a hardware issue.
Banacek:
What verison of mame are you using? If you're using the newest version I would suggest going back to an older one.
EnderWiggen22:
Mame CMD line version 109b
Buddabing:
What games are you trying to run? An 800 MHz processor won't run the more complicated games.

You might try compiling MAME with optimizations, or using an older version.

Or, if you think MAME is so terrible, use a different emulator which will run on your hardware. Or write your own, you seem to think that creating an emulator is easy.

:tool:

I have had no problem with it on my xbox, etc and assumed I wouldn't have one with my conversion because it has been done so many times before and worked well for so many people.

I'm greatful for Mame (I do tread lightly, for I know that I'm treading on your dreams), it's just frustrating to have to run pacman at 4 fps. That's right, pacman at 4 fps to get 90% speed.

I think I will try a different/older version of mame, or perhaps an unofficial version. Oh, and I really didn't appreciate the name calling. I never said programing was easy, you assumed that's what I was thinking.
