MAME running super fast?!
« on: June 14, 2004, 05:31:53 am »
I just got an old computer from someone and loaded W2K and MAME onto it. For some reason though MAME is running super fast! It looks like it is frame skipping a ton. I really don't know what could be happing. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks!

Or -

Hit F11 with a game running - this will give you the speed and frameskip.

Hit F10 to turn throttling on - it should drop to 100%

Hit F8 to increase Frameskip and F9 to decrease it (or vice versa).
