Converting my cab to mame
<< < (3/4) > >>
phishpac:
I have a 2.6 w/ a gig of ram running a complete .124 rom set.  I am having a great deal of framerate and sound stutter issues with the newer games.  I can run older versions of mame and it's much better, but the sound is crackly every once in a while.
Jox43w:
Do the dualcore chips make any diffrence in mame or am i better off going with a single core with a higher clock speed? Would be nice to hear from somebody with a duelcore rig. I could over clock my dualcore to 3ghz but as it will be in a cab im not to keen on leaving it oc'd all the while'. 
paigeoliver:
Dualcore isn't going to do much for mame. Overclocking for Mame is lunacy. 95 percent of the games you want to play ran full speed in mame YEARS ago on a 500 mhz processor.

I do remember playing kof98 on my old imac 333mhz 32mb ram at near enoughfull speed! Are the older versions any less accurate emulation wise or buggy? And are they compatible with ultimarcs arcadevga2 card? 
paigeoliver:
I regularly use version .55 which is what, 70 versions out of date? It supports basically anything you would want to play (notable exceptions are CPS 3 games, Golden Tee games and games that use CHD files) and it runs them wonderfully.

ArcadeVGA is a video card, it doesn't care what Mame version you use. I have an arcadevga card (older version) running in a cabinet that uses mame .55
