FrizzleFried:
Aren't there 3d accelerated variants of MAME already?

None that I know of that actually offload the graphics processing properly. Acellerating the output without actually changing the way the data is initially processed doesn't really achieve a lot.
If somebody has a list of hardware accelerated versions then maybe they could be benchmarked to find out if they run the 3D stuff and CHD's properly.
Aaron Giles did do a stand alone hardware accelerated emululator for "Radikal Bikers" a few years back, which worked! but then said "of course none of this will end up in Mame" My question is: Well why the hell not!!!

Not quite the same thing... They do have a lot of unnoficial bug fix hacks in them, and are quite often better than the official release, but they don't actually provide 3D hardware accelerated drivers.
