Donkey Kong (us set 1) slow on mame 147
Haze:
the keep aspect option shouldn't really make any difference to performance unless you have a terrible video card / drivers / are forcing ddraw (or don't have directx installed)
it sounds like a problem with your setup

What directx should I be using? I currently have the June 2010 one installed. Should I revert back to directx 9? Also, keep in mind that mame 127 runs perfectly.
By the way, my specs are: ASUS mb (on board video), AMD 64 dual core cpu, 4 gb ram, samsung 830 series 256 gb SSD.
I think that the keep aspect options makes the action on screen seem artificially faster since there is a larger playing field. In other words, in DK, the barrels seem to move faster since they have a greater distance to travel.

Why do you never give your processor speed or model number?
It's the most important spec regarding games not running full speed.

I was in the midst of writing a response, then reread the thread and found this, which more elegantly makes the same point.
Everybody wants everything to be playable ... except for the stuff that THEY don't want.
Pick a version that does the best job for what you want and stay with it until a new version does more of what you want.
Don't like the size of a full set of ROMs ? Then install just what you want.
And, for God's sake, leave the bad analogies at the door.

Oh for ---fudgesicle---'s sake, it's NOT about games *I* don't want to play! It's about the fact that when these games DO boot up, it's a blank ---smurfing--- screen with maybe an LED or numeric display or two. You have to SIMULATE so much crap to make it actually playable, yet a TRUE VIDEO GAME like PONG or Computer Space gets left out... which is pure ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow--- in my opinion.
My cabs are done... why the ---fudgesicle--- do I still even bother with this ---smurfing--- place.... :banghead:
