Is this motherboard/cpu fast enough?

TOK:

Somethings up there... My fastest machine is 2ghz and everything is fast except for stuff that is slow on all rigs. Mortal Kombat has been in MAME for numerous revisions. As a last resort, go back to like .99 or something. My bartop will run it full speed with .99 and its a P3/800mhz with whatever oddball RAM I had to throw in it... 384 meg via a 512 and 128.




Malenko:

my MAME cab's PC is a lowly Dell Optiplex 210L P4 @ 2.8GHz with onboard video and a gig of RAM. UMK3 runs full speed with no hiccups, when you hit F11 does it say 53/53 ?

I tried MK3, and it says "0/10 100%", with it dipping down to 99-98% just a couple of times.  Hitting F10 puts it at about 114% average.  So I guess the processor does have a tiny bit of head room, just not much. 

I would think that the old 2.8 P4 would be faster if we are talking pure CPU emulation.  The AMD chip I have while newer is only running at 1.8GHz.  I've only really kept up with servers the last couple years, I'm not up to speed on desktop CPU setups anymore.

Interesting....  On my Athlon 1800, I can run MKIII at full speed with no slowdown.  Only difference on mine is that I have a Radeon 7500 with s-video out at 800x600. 

BTW, what resolution are you running it at.  If it's high, try setting it low like 640x480.
