games on a 450Mhz computer

<< < (5/6) > >>

paigeoliver:
WIndows 95, 98 or DOS. Don't put XP on it for any reason.

ArcadeOS is just a frontend, although it couldn't be less like mame32.

danny_galaga:
without being a computer expert, id have to agree with putting an os no younger than win98. xp would be too clunky on a 450mhz.
win98 strips down quite nicely, and i guess dos would be REALLY streamlined...

mred84:

Well, i'm convinced .55 is faster than the later versions.
I asked on a lot of forums and all point to .55 for a 400mhz type machine.
They all support paigeoliver's theory. So i am convinced and want to run that version. Trouble is, i have a .76 romset. Getting the .55 mameversion is not a problem. But getting the romset is.

I know there is a program called clrmame that should be able to downgrade my romset. But to be honest, it has a learning curve like a
brick wall. I can't figure the damn thing out. Are there any tutorials or help files for this. Or an easier way to downgrade a romset?

EasyEmu has a very good ClrMame tutorial. Take a look here:

To rollback from .76 to .55, you will need to get some of the original .55 roms that would have been changed over the last couple of years. There are places to download these 'rollback' sets, but I can't remember where.

menace:
hey I just made a .37b12 set lets see if I can remember the steps--actually maybe I'll make a separate post since this seems to come up a lot.
