I know these games were made years ago, but also know some emulators take some processing power to run smoothly. My questions: What system specs do you run? What systems do you emulate? What piece is the most crucial for emulator performance? *CPU speed, mem amount, HD speed*? I see some peoople running dual core 4G+ systems with 10K HD's and I KNOW MAME's have been around long before these systems were. Just want to make sure my system will do what I want it to. I want to run NES, SNES and arcade. That's about it. You guys with high end PC's, why do you run them? Thanks for the info, George |

Or maybe he's talking about 4 Ghz cpus. Either way, that powerful of hardware is going to be unnecessary for most of those looking to make a MAME machine. To answer the main question: Emulation is mostly about CPU capability and of course RAM. NES and SNES emulation runs fine on computers that are 5 years old. In my experience arcade emulation runs similarly. So, if you can play a SNES game from 1993 on your system you can play an arcade game from 1993. |

My "huh?" was directed at "10k HDs" |
