| Best MAME version for this setup. |
| (1/1) |
| johnm160:
I am looking for some advise on what version of MAME I should run on this setup. Athlon 2600, 512k memory. running and ntlited version of xp Going in a four player cab for fighting as well as other horozontal games. I don't recall what CHD games might be included in this mix. there will not be any shooters such as Area 51 on this machine and I know things like Gauntlet Legends will not play on anything. Any help would be appreciated. I don't want to dump gigs of games on here only to have to delete them and put a different version back on. Oh, and just to narrow the choices down a bit, my romset choices are: .62 .69 .92 .108 .112 Thanks John :cheers: |

MAME is processor dependent, not memory dependent. http://www.stickfreaks.com/benchmark/search_all.php will give you an idea of what speed each game will get with differerent versions and sticks. I use and XP 2800 myself. You aren't going to have many games that won't work on that hardware that will work on a previous version, and if the ROMS work correctly, you can always run an older version of MAME to check speed provided the ROMS still work. Personally, I would go with either 0.108 which gets you the later Golden Tee games and the new artwork format, or 112 which get you more games, but will be slightly slower. |

Thanks for the reply Tiger, I will check that link out. I am trying out 113 now since I was able to just transfer it over the network. If that does not work, or works too slow I will be loading dvd's one at a time which is what I was trying to avoid. :cheers: |
