"100% working" isn't the same as "100% playable." If I'm reading the specs right, the thing uses 4 sound chips? Probably a good as any reason to kill the emulation simulation speeds there. What are your PC specs?

Would A high end pc solve all the problems in MAME when it comes to the newer games

Not exactly. It'll run better, but won't always solve every problem. It might help to read the Performance FAQ to get a better idea of what's going on.

Tried tweaking mame but no luck, still slow and unable to play. It must be the specs of my PC. Is it possible for some
with a better performing pc to try how surf planet works.

thanks ???
