hi folks, i am having issues tonight with my cocktail. my games are really slow....lets back up a little. i uses to run mame32 on win 98se with 450 mhz, and 256 m ram and it was running great. now i installed xp added 128 to ram total of 384 m ram and the games are really slow. i was told earlier that i should tweak mame.ini to make it perform better. now my problem is i do not know what to change. does any one have any ideas??? HELP!!!!! thanks |

You should be using an older version of mame. Preferably Mame 0.37b16. I'm using it on a 400mhz pc. Here's my mame.ini --- Code: ---### mame.ini ### ### Frontend Related ### clones 1 ### Windows path and directory options ### rompath E:\videogames\mame37\roms samplepath samples cfg_directory cfg nvram_directory nvram memcard_directory memcard input_directory inp hiscore_directory hi state_directory sta artwork_directory artwork snapshot_directory snap cheat_file cheat.dat history_file history.dat mameinfo_file mameinfo.dat ### Windows video options ### autoframeskip 0 frameskip 0 waitvsync 0 triplebuffer 0 window 1 ddraw 1 hwstretch 1 resolution 640x480 refresh 0 scanlines 0 switchres 1 switchbpp 1 maximize 1 keepaspect 1 matchrefresh 0 syncrefresh 0 dirty 1 throttle 1 full_screen_brightness 0.000000 frames_to_run 0 effect none screen_aspect 4:3 ### Input device options ### hotrod 0 hotrodse 0 mouse 0 joystick 1 ### Mame CORE video options ### bpp 0 norotate 0 ror 0 rol 0 flipx 0 flipy 0 debug_resolution auto gamma 1.000000 ### Mame CORE vector game options ### antialias 1 translucency 1 beam 1.000000 flicker 0.000000 ### Mame CORE sound options ### samplerate 22050 samples 1 resamplefilter 0 sound 1 volume 0 ### Mame CORE misc options ### artwork 0 cheat 0 debug 0 # playback <NULL> (not set) # record <NULL> (not set) log 0 ### Configuration options ### readconfig 1 verbose 0 --- End code --- |

Yep, no amount of tweaking is going to help you run the newest versions of Mame on a PC that old. Here is the link to the older versions of Mame. Some adjustments to your rom set will undoubtedly be needed: http://mamedev.org/oldrel.html |
