whats best mame setup for VERY slow cpus?
kcorcoran:
ok so i finished this mini cabinet
http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=10;action=display;threadid=26939
but i only had a P166 / 96mb ram / rage II+ / SB vibra 16 / dos
i ONLY want to emulate the vertical classics like mr do, pacman, ms pac, galaxian, centipede, gorf, carnival, roc n rope, etc.
i've got mame .88 and gamelauncher frontend running somewhat ok.. but there's still frame skipping even with scanlines off and sound sample rate down to 11025. i'd think these games would run fine on this machine but guess i'm mistaken.
anyone been mameing a while when hardware wasn't what it is today? what's the oldest dos mame i can use for these games?
please post your setup including command line switches etc. i'm sure i'm not the only one with these dinosaur machines laying around waiting to be ressurrected.
thanks.

ArcadeOS and Vantage. Runs great on my P75.

I can't say enough good stuff bout Vantage for that type of setup and emulation needs...Yesterday I bought a vertical jamma cab (Thanks Ed :) for my work... This morning I grabbed a j-pac i had and my laptop (an old NEC 133mhz) which has vantage and all its supported games on it. It took me like 1 minute to unplug the jamma harness, plug in the j-pac and hook it up to the laptop. I was playing Donkey Kong and MsPacman all morning. :)
Full FPS to boot
