Slow running beat em ups

I can't say that I've had any 3d fighters or 3d games at all run well on my Athlon 2100+, P4 2.2, or P4 3.2HT. Mame and polygons, not fans of each other. If you've run Tekken/DOA/Soul Caliber smoothly, I'm all ears.

Zinc runs 3D arcade games much faster than mame does.

Have you tried different/newer video card?  What operating system are you using/how long.  A fresh install may do wonders.  Add to that disabling unnecessary processes.

Sorry for sarcasm :-[ Thought it was a wind up question. MAME is all about processing power to emulate and not your graphics card. Have you heard of fastmame? http://www.geoshock.com/

I've got an Athlon 64 @ 4000+ now, so speeding up "old" games like MK3 wasn't of much use. That's why this time I took a different approach, I tried to make "crusnusa" playable at full speed :).

I have a switchable Dreamcast in my cab for running dead or alive etc. It's a cheap and easy way to run them ;)

So you are telling me that ANY video card will do?  The only way to find out about the bottlenecks in your computer is to swap easy to change components.  Sometimes just updating the driver may do wonders and I'm not just talking about 3D video.

You are forgetting that "processing power" is built in a video card also.  With a better video card (gpu) you are using less cpu cycles that you need for your processing power.  Why not just use integrated video?  Good luck using that with these newer games.
