Fast PC, still Slow Mame32 Game Speed

Pages: << < (4/5) > >>

RayB:

Um, Area 51 is just a game that plays video, while all those other examples are 3D. THat's why Area51 works, and the rest are too slow.

Could be you just don't know how to properly configure MAME? Is DirectX enabled? Direct3D? Are you forcing all games to play at some crazy high resolution?

more info.......
(Although as was said, MOST 3D games just won't work right).

Hi Ray.

Hmm, good questions. :)

Here is some additional info on the setup:
  Display setting at 1600x1200
  Video Card is NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS (512 MB GDDR)
  Mame32v109
  Mame32 settings:
    Videomode: Direct3D
    Direct3D: Use Bilinear filtering = checked (version 9)
   
Any suggestions or pointers on this 3D setup would be appreciated. I have just the defaults
at the moment, and it is not working at all.

Thanks :)

For one set the game resolution lower, like 640x480.

Good suggestion, but still doesn't work. There a several settings which could also be tweaked, anyone have suggestions on the others and what "optimal" settings should be for game display?

Still have parent machine display properties on the PC set to 1600x1200...

RayB:

set Frame Skipping to Auto-Skip

And make sure you test with a game that is KNOWN to work well on a system like yours.
