Vector game performance in mame

(1/3) > >>

ErikRuud:
What can I do to tweak vector games in mame? Without spending any money?

I have noticed that most of the vector games are very slow and choppy on my machine.

I know my pc is not fast (200 mhz), but it is fast enough for most pre 1986 games, and the same games in Retrocade run at full speed on my PC.

I would realy like to get the MAME version of Warrior to run well, becuse it has sound and the Retrocade version does not.

I know I can upgrade the motherboard, but funds are a little tight right now.  Where is a good place for newe rmotherboards?

Lilwolf:
remove anti-aliasing will help.  
next, there are other emulators that are faster then mame that might have the games your looking for.

ErikRuud:
Which other emulators?

I know about Retrocade, and the even older CineEmu.

The games I am most interested in are Warrior, Star Castle, Rip Off, TailGunner, Armor Attack, Battle Zone, Tempest and Red Baron.  These machines got most of my allowance and lunch money during High School.

Retrocade runs them all, but does not have sound for some of them.

check out www.pricewatch.com. i am getting a 900 mhz t-bird bearbones kit for under $100. it includes the case, fan, and motherboard/processor combo. oddly enough its cheaper than just the motherboard/processor combo! go to the site and click the pc kits link   :)
