BLITZ! PC build
deano7:
I am building a new MAME box because my motherboard in my old box died. Time to try and upgrade and add some games. I'd like to build a new compy that can play Blitz and some of the CHD games. I have an old AGP arcadevga that I'd like to transfer over to the new computer and I'd like to use win XP 32 because I have like 10 licenses for it laying around. Any advice for the most inexpensive processor and mobo that will let me play Blitz? Thanks in advance.
Dazz:
Last I heard Blitz was barely playable with a 4ghz processor.
Malenko:
Prolly easier and better to run either pc version or dreamcast/n64 emulated version of blitz
deano7:
Thanks for the replies.
Well, if Blitz is off the table, then what is the sweetspot for cost/processor power for other Mame and CHD games? Let's say I wanted to run Tekken and most other games at full speed?
Malenko:
tricky answer. You wanna get the fastest dual core mobo/cpu you can afford that still has an AGP slot. Heard 64 bit builds run a bit faster, I'd suggest TinyXP to squeeze that much more out of your hardware.
