A few general MAME queries by a relative Noob.
dailygeek:
Hi folks,
I'm around a week into converting my JAMMA cab to MAME and have a few questions.
I was planning a reasonably quick AMD 64 PC to go in the cab but have had problems with that so for the moment I'm running
P4 1.8Ghz
256Mb RAM
ArcadeVGA ver 2 AGP
Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS.
Now i've mostly been testing out games like final fight, sfa3, xmen vs sf, tmnt and simpsons.
I've got frameskip on and very few of these games run even near 100%. They start off that way, running silky smooth etc and after a few minutes start lagging like crazy. Is this due to the spec of the PC? Would more RAM help or is it totally a lost cause. I can put up to 1Gb in this system.
Is there anything I can do to help the situation? Lots of audio lagging on these games too.
More to come, but thats the biggie for now!
venkman:
more than 256Mb RAM is always a good idea these days.
Hoopz:
What version of Mame are you running?
dailygeek:
I've tried 127, 120 and now trying 118, all about the same tbh.
HaRuMaN:
Try going to an older version, like in the .60's or .70's.
