How come 3D games don't work on MAME?
releasedtruth:
Not only will some not work, but the ones that do will run mad slow, even with a fast pc. If you want to run 3d games with hardware acceleration, you need Zinc. It doesn't support every 3d game of course, but it will speed them up a ton and look purdy too. I'd like to see what a Core 2 Extreme would do though, just for kicks... Anyone?

Wow, it takes a stacked machine to play most of those games at any decent rate. Core 2 at 3.6 is seriously smokin. In a few years perhaps we'll all be playing some Blitz....

I wish they posted some older results for those of us without top of the line machines in our cabs. I have an Athlon XP 2000+ in mine now and I have access to an P4 2.4 GHz processor/board, and I'm wondering if there will be a big enough difference to make it worthwhile to swap them out...

He had older systems before (on older mame's, of course), but as time goes on, he upgrades his systems, and since mame changes too, he has to run the benchmarks again or they'd be out of date.
I wish he'd leave the historical benchmarks up, but it's not my web site. [shrug] Maybe wayback it?
