Long load times in MAMEUI .138

(1/2) > >>

brownicus15:
So, as I said, I'm running MAMEUI through Maximus Arcade.  Games still run perfectly, but starting the game is whats irking me.  I press the select button, and it just shows a blank screen for atleast 30 seconds, and then loads the game properly.  Is this just how it's supposed to work? or is there a setting I can tweak to change that.  I had save states enabled, but I disabled that because it helped it run a little faster, but is there something else to do?

Thanks,
brownicus.

Why are you running a GUI Mame with a front end? Seems kinda counter productive. Have you tried the command line version?

new to the whole, multicade scene.  I'm too stupid to compile the command line version.

You can try using a command line version without custom compiling to see if it will help load times.  If it does, take the next step and learn to custom compile.  If you get that far, look for Headkaze's MAME compiler 64.  It will do everything you need to do without much more that clicking a few buttons!
