MAME(tm) Benchmark project

<< < (4/7) > >>

SirPoonga:
When benchmarking I think the game needs to run at idle AND while in use. 

So the best thing to do would be come up with a list of games.  Create a playback script for each in idle and in use.  Then get stats for each.

I think this all could be done with a script too.  You just load mame and the roms on a machine and runt he script.  Come back in about an hour and you will have your results :)

One of the hard parts about bench marking MAME is it is a moving target.
Once you finished benchmarking every game a new version (or u update) will come out and you will need to start again :-(

For example Aaron is currently revamping the MAME sound system. And this will likely mean a performance hit for every game in MAME

Yes, but if there is a script out there that would get the benchmark info automatically.
