Odds are the reason your DK is screwed is because you are using the most recent version of MAME. Use 0.54 or something old like that to run classic games. |

That's totally serious. With the current mame, it takes a good machine to run DK now. I run .84 on my cabinet, so DK runs fine where it counts, albeit with incorrect sound. |

anyone tried these stuttering sounding games with a up to date sound card? for instance my current sound is 16-bit 46KHZ where my new card on they way is 24-bit HD with 196KHZ I'm not sure if it will help or not and that is why I ask but I know my sound quality all around will be dramiticly improved overall. |

Just roll your mame version back about a zillion versions and watch all your performance problems vanish. Very few games of substance have been added to mame since the .55 era, and version .55 runs like a bat out of hell on 10 year old hardware, it was a very stable version, and all the games that you want to work actually work in this version (it isn't one of those, "Oops, Galaga is broken in this version, etc" versions). |
