mame-v126.exe -noautoframeskip -frameskip 0 -seconds_to_run 100 -nothrottle -nosleep -video ddraw -skip_gameinfo -effect none -nowaitvsync -noreadconfig -mt

...bunch of problems deleted...

I ran these tests with 100 seconds but can do 240 as some of the more recent posts have been but it's the relative percentages to each other that I'm concerned about mostly.  Thanks everyone in advance....  you're my only hope.

Okay it turns out after patching or tweaking some BIOS settings, the CPU defaulted back to its 1.86ghz.  Put memory speed and FSB back to the way it was and bam.  I guess at this rate, I won't need Vista x64 since new tests show XP x64 running 64bit mame is the same speed since i turn off just about every feature and service I can on Vista anyway.

Even MALA and xvid seem to play together better now.  Can't wait to customize hyperspin tool.

Wow, 64bit 4.0ghz overclocked with Cruisin World @ 249.66% a full year ago!

kelemvor:
So wait, I could get better performance if I upgraded my Pentium 4 2.4Ghz machine?  :)

I understand that v0.126 may have taken a performance hit recently b/c of debugging.
ask and you will receive: (I included Direct3D preformance number aswell since MAME defaultly output via D3D)

Core 2 Duo E8500 (engineering sample) @ 4.4ghz Vista Ultimate 64bit SP1, MAMEUI 64bit v1.26u3

DDRaw command line:

Taz, your numbers helped me out a lot to decided whether or not to upgrade the cab's PC.  Here are my numbers using your command line parameters from the $300 used computer I bought last month.  The pc's got a cheap mobo with an old ATI X700 pci-e card.

If others could add their % to these specific games that'll be useful to someone trying to find an upgrade path within their budget and not overspend on the quad core cpu's for mame.  I'd be interested in seeing some high numbers for AMD processors too.

Just like you've been writing in this thread, mame certainly seems to follow the proportional speed increases by the clockspeed.  Although looking at the numbers below, some of your games seem to go substantially faster than the roughly 75% speed difference between our CPUs.  Take a look at gnbarich for example.  Why do you think that is?

Perhaps you're not using a version of Mame that has the SH-2 DRC in it.
