Title: Older, optimized versions of Mame?
Post by: 404 on March 12, 2012, 06:21:46 pm: I remember duke over at emubase used to compile mame binaries optimized for certain CPUs. The last update he posted was 0.122. He seemed to have removed all of his older builds. I have been trying to find optimized versions of 1.06 for quite some time now. Does anyone happen to have these saved somewhere? I'm looking for the pentium3, athlonxp and pentium4 optimized builds.

that's what I'm really curious about. I'm thinking about compiling a few builds of .106 myself to see just how much performance i can squeeze out of older computers.

Always felt these kinds of builds should have been archived a bit better considering there was such a huge divide in performance from .106 to .107

Anything that won't handle .106 will be win98-ville or less.
