Current setup not finished Intel Celeron 400mhz overclocked to 500mhz with CPUFSB 128mb ram Nlited xp install Just did the -ftr 5000 -nothrottle -noafs mslug3 v084 fastmame fps 58.201989 As you can see I got similar results to Dmod with almost half the machine! Here's what I recommend people use. If your machine is 600mhz and above use fastmame84. If your machine is 500mhz and below use fastmame71 http://www.geoshock.com/?69. Also if it's a gaming only machine I would use nlite or tinyxp to get rid of all the crap you don't use. Here's a list of emus and the order you should use them Winkawaks: NeoGeo CPS1 CPS2 Raine: All games it supports not listed above Fastmame: All games it supports not listed above Why v071? It has most of the games we all remember. And why v084? well not too many games have been added since then. And most of the ones that have will not run on low end machines. The higher up you go in the mame ladder the more processor you'll need. I know what you're going to say. "Hey you can't run winkawaks through a front end!" Well sorry to burst everyone's bubble http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=57045.0 |

With a 600 mhz CPU you should be using Mame .55, and really, roll your OS back to windows 98SE. Mame .55 has basically everything anyone would actually want to play in it, and they will all run full speed on your rig. Sure newer mame versions added more games, games of exactly two types, stuff you are never going to play, and stuff that won't run on your rig. |

Mame .55 doesn't have direct3d support and some pc's run better with it. http://files-upload.com/files/173598/fastmame084u3.zip |

My dad gave me a PIII from his work. It has 512 mb ram. It has an AGP x4 port where I could use a 64MB radeon I have (or upgrade to 128 or 256 or arcade vga). There's someone local selling a 2.8 P4 for 40 bucks...could I replace the PIII with this and have a functional machine for current MAME? |
