Thinking of downgrading mame PC, advise needed

<< < (5/5)

stun runner runs like crap on my machine and its 1.7 processer  :D

Sephroth57:
i agree with the MAME version downgrade if you decide to use the slower computer. The new MAME versions get slower every release, and rarely add anything worth playing. mame is starting to suck IMO with new releases, your best bet is to wire a dreamcast into the cab for a nice selection of newer arcade type of games

SirPeale:
They don't get slower on *every* release, but usually when a particular driver is rewritten it gets slower.

Some of the time, anyway.  There have been quite a few instances where it gets a lot faster.

lokki here on the boards works a lot on the code, and he works on optimizing it. He's made a lot of headway, with 10-20% speed increases.

Upgrades are definitely worth it.  Namco Classics vol 1 & 2 are now playable, and Galaga no longer requires samples as of this latest version.
