any chd games worth it yet
<< < (3/9) > >>
FrizzleFried:
Welp,  my MAME rig isn't old as dirt but isn't a C2D either...it is an Athlon 3200+ and it runs only a few of the CHD games without issue.  All the CPS3 stuff works fine... Gauntlet Legends nor any of the Blitz games are going to work at anything close to 100%.





Hoopz:
This may change with the changes that Aaron made in .120 and multicore processors.  It may take some time, but there should be improvements in this area.

Yup...and I can't wait.  As soon as there is a significant change I am upgrading to the fastest multicore Athlon my board will accept.
Hoopz:
I am planning the same thing.  But new mobo, proc and ram.  Very nice and welcome change!  :applaud:

ugh... I leave for a while and still the same questions are asked over (and over and over and over and over) and over again.

I hate to be rude, but try a search some time.  I've answered this question myself at least 6 times to my knowledge.  As a general rule of thumb that STILL is applicable today (sorry, those hi-end games still aren't playable) simply look at the type of title it is.  2d chd games should run fine, 3d chd games won't. 

Since dual 5600 athlon 64's are NOT standard mame cab hardware, all of those 3d games on the list (except the simpsons) are unplayable.  Also I"m not sure if suits is on the level with this one considering the frikkin mame devs can't get some of those games to run 100% on their machines yet. 

The multicore improvments do help (and will help even more in the future) but considering that you'd have to be running a 64 bit os and again you'd need monster processors, and even then aaron says the games don't run at 100% on his machine yet, upgrading isn't really going to help.  Almost playable still isn't playable.
