Benchmarks don''t mean much to me, I want to see the actual difference:D --- End quote --- The actual Metal Slug arcade game slowed down too though. You'll need to press F11 in game to see if you are skipping frames in MAME. |

With metal slug the % bounces aroudn 90-100% with the auto frame skip at auto 2 for the most part. Dragon spirit 's skipping is running at auto 7 or so.....would the new system fix stuff like this? Tough to answer I suppose, but I don't want to spend the $ on something that will give me marginal if any improvement. |

Yes you are skipping frames. A faster CPU would definitely help you. I didn't see a mention of what MAME version you are using, but generally an older version of MAME will also give you a performance boost. |

I meant it as a general term. I should have put later/polygonal/chd/Midway as a more general term, but I'm not as pedantic as some! ::) To be honest I've never been happy with the performance of .chd games anyway on higher spec machines. The only one I'm remotely interested in is KI1, which is the only one I endeavoured to get working on my own personal machine. Good point about natural slowdown in games, whoever mentioned it. The amount of times I've had to explain the slowdown in Double Dragon is natural to people.... |
