game ex question, small tweaks
« on: March 26, 2010, 01:40:24 am »
i have a cabinet with a 33" wells gardner display. i use game ex. mame works phenomenally for the most part. not having the same luck getting other emulators to work properly. sometimes its a simple display setting... advise please. some perform VERY slow

also... what is the deal with newer games and not performing properly? the latest gauntlet for instance... audio repeats echoy like 1/2 second loops. game performs really slow. any advice on that?

many thanx

You need a fairly decent CPU for MAME to run the latest games. Are you running a Dual/Quad Core + 64-bit OS?

What display setting are you using for MAME? ddraw? d3d?

This is not an issue with GameEx but MAME.
