Mame Performance Problem
sportswizdan:
Hello to everyone...
Here is my problem. I am running Mame32 version .99 with a Pentium3 1 GZH computer with Windows XP. I am having troubles running NBA JAM with it. It has skipped frames and runs between 75 and 83% of the CPU power usage. When i run this same set-up on my P4 3.4 GZH computer, of course I have NO PROBLEMS at all and it runs at 100%emulation. I want to be able to put my P3 in my new cab that's being built, but I need it to run NBA JAM and GOLDEN TEE GOLF games at 100%. Everybody tells me that my P3 should be just fine for running these...but, IT'S NOT!!! Is that because I'm running Windows XP and not Windows 98 for the operating system? Also, would running the command line version of Mame help out? I have always used Mame32 and not Mame so would be very unfamiliar with that and setting everything up properly. In short, if I would run Mame and keep XP, do you think that would make a difference... OR ... would I have to run Mame with Windows 98 to accomplish this? Any other feedback or comments would be greatly appreciated. Come on Drew, I live in Milwaukee also, so please give me your EXPERT OPINION ;D
Thanks, Dan

Turn off Vsync and/or Triple Buffering.

RAM?

NBA Jams runs great on my 1.1ghz system (not trying to rub it in, just saying). :D
However, NBA Jam TE and Hangtime do not run well at all. I am interested in the recommendations.

You may need a more powerful PC. (or older version of MAME). NBA JAM (and other midway games) have some performance requirements (mainly to emulate the sound).
Good luck
