Is MAME faster with CoreDuo or CoreQuad type cpus?
rockin_rick:
You got that backwards. Pentium D has seperate cache, while Core 2 duo has shared cache -

Not quite as good of a source, but in the specs...

I've also seen it theorized that the shared (IOW - really large) cache is part of what helps MAME to run so well on C2D.

I think they would have to do more than just allow multiple cores to get some of the unplayable games running. A good video card probably won't do either. To get some of those games playing, you should probably just use a differeny emulator.

Thanks for the discussion so far! What other emulators are there for things like Blitz, Killer Instinct, etc, for the systems like midway seattle, etc? I've heard of Raine, Zinc, etc but don't know anything about them or what other emulators there are that make these newer types of games playable.
Thank you!

This emulator claims to emulate the two versions of Killer Instinct. I have not tried it:
