Your running xp on a PIII 450Mhz with 256mb ram

you should be running 2000 pro

how does it take xp to load?
how long did it take to install!?
on a machine that old 2kpro works the best

I'm running an Athlon XP 2500+ with 768MB of ram, windows XP pro and mame .116. I only had 512mb of ram in it and it struggled a bit with MK3/ UMK3.  once i found a spare 256mb dimm lying around and installed it they seem to run just fine now.  i did notice a performance hit when i installed that version of mame, but it fixed the sound problem with MK2, so it was worth it.

You should be using 37b16 since that is the fastest version according to some tests made by Aaron Giles


I use it on a 400mhz Celeron and most games run full speed without frameskip. For NeoGeo and Capcom use Nebula, it can be run from the command line. Only problem is that it requires Shift+Escape to exit. It can be done with joytokey or xpadder if you're using a gamepad or a keyboard encoder using the shift keys function. But for NeoGeo I personally prefer Winkawaks since it has the ability to load decrypted roms which cuts the load time significantly on older pc's. Problem with the emu is that it needs a wrapper to load from a frontend and it requires Enter, Alt+F4 to exit which I don't think can be done with shifted keys, but is possible with xpadder or joytokey.

Lowest spec running that I know is a 486 DX100 with 16MB and running .34

I have run Mame on a 468 SX 25 8mb with mixed results using .24  and a old 486 DLC (which was a 386 pin variant) which performed fine on the older classics with skip.

I have also tried running Mame on a Compaq 386 /33 8mb with .23 and some of the classics ran on that too.

I also had a Elonex 386/16 but that was too slow for any distribution, but managed to get  Zonn Moore's CinEmu working with an old soundblaster card.

Can we lower the bar any further?  286?  8088-16?  6502?  6510?   :dizzy:
