| Using an earlier version of Mame |
| (1/1) |

I am relatively new to Mame but I recently downloaded and set up Mame with Mala as my front end. I used the most recent version of Mame, 0.114, because I did not know any reason not to. My computer is 1.79 ghz and I have had some slow down with a number of games, such as NBA Jam. I have a couple of questions. Would using an earlier version of Mame fix the slow down problems? If so how far back would you recommend I use? If I used an earlier version of Mame would I have to have an all new set of roms? Thanks for your help! |

.84 is good especially for the spec. |

If Golden Tee Golf is important to you, its in version .99. That version also fixed a speed issue with Robotron and also still supports the old hiscore.dat file (high score saves) so it's the version I use. MAME started really going downhill fast speedwise in the .1xx versions. |

That helps a lot, most speed problems I was having were fixed. I went with .84 cause I built my arcade machine as cheap as I could and didnt include a trackball. Thanks a lot! |
