MAME Software and PC Hardware question

(1/2) > >>

Rulkiewicz:
From what I've read, it seems that 3D arcade games seem to run better on older version of MAME and slower PC's as opposed to a newer version of MAME and a higher end PC, is this true?

Dazz:
That would make absolutely no sense at all...  You're saying that a 500mhz computer will run the newer 3D games better than a 4ghz computer? 

To run most of the 3D games like Gauntlet Legends at full speed you will need a 5ghz+ computer.  The version of MAME just depends on when that game was added to MAME.  Compiling MAME and running a 64bit operating system does offer a noticeable boost in some games.

Rulkiewicz:
Thanks for the clairification.  I'm trying to test a few different versions of MAME, I have (I think) all of the proper SNES bios' and a game.  I cannot load the game via MAME32, but in the command line versions 131 and 136 I can load the bios' but when I select the SNES one, I type ok, then get some load sucess screen and then blankness.  Any ideas?

Dazz:
Why would you be using MAME for SNES?  ZSnes is the best emulator for SNES games.

Rulkiewicz:
I'm (trying) to work with MAME to build an MAME Arcade... I was under the assumption that I could run MAME to emulate NES, SNES, TG16, etc, etc.  (Such as the MAME Arcades on youtube and such) Am I mistaken?
