Title: Slow Mortal Kombat
Post by: CartmanDP1 on November 21, 2005, 10:20:04 pm

Mortal Kombat 2 and any of the games with better graphics are running very slow. I dont expect to be able to play Area 51 or any of those games but i really thought id be able to play MK2. So here are my specs hopefully someone can compare and tell me if this is actually a software issue.

Intel Pentium III 1.0 Ghz
512 RAM
Two 40 GB hardrives 1 with 32 GB free 1 with 18 free
GEForce 2 MX/MX 400 Graphics Card

I figure this is more than enough to run MK2, am i right? I may have issues with the duel harddrives I have never done this before, also I am having problems windows. I may clean everything out and start fresh.

Are you running x or 98?  If you are running 98 it's enough, otherwise you need about 200 more mhz.

Yes and no... it'll help BUT older versions of mame didn't emulate the sound properly and it was "scratchy."
