Mame 1.059 vs. something newer
(1/2) > >>
dkubarek:
I have Mame 1.059 and like it but I'm just getting into the hobby and I noticed newer rom sets are much easier to find. I have a 1.8 G Pent 4, gig of ram, and 80 gig hard drive. Should I upgrade to say, Mame v.129? I use a front end, Mala, and command line Mame. I also have Windows XP pro fairly-well optimized and dedicated to the cab. What are the pros and cons of doing so? I heard newer versions of Mame look better but run slower. What should I do?
Ummon:
I suggest .104 (not where the decimal place is, because Mame is inherently a beta status), or maybe .106 .

I'm running mame .106 with a p4 1.6ghz processor and 512 ram.  It runs smoothly on most games you would want to play.

I think others are telling you you have MAME .059
no such thing as MAME 1.0 yet
and I agree If you want more stuff any thing above  MAME .100 would be fine.
but not all games will run just right for you right off the bat.
I went to MAME .099 and MSPAC sound sucked!
I keep with .056 and .078
now I hear Big Buck Hunter is open  ;D I think I might just upgrade again

Why .104? I 1.8 p4 will run .129 easy
