@taz-nz: Thanks for the helpful and informative post. What you wrote sounds sensible, and I'll definitely be testing more in the near future with this new information in mind.

I could not figure this out from the compiling instructions.

You just need to edit the "makefile" in the MAME source folder before you compile it. Just open the "makefile" with notepad snd scroll down until you find this section of the test.
#-------------------------------------------------
# specify build options; see each option below
# for details
#-------------------------------------------------
# uncomment one of the next lines to build a target-optimized build
# NATIVE = 1
# ATHLON = 1
# I686 = 1
# P4 = 1
# PM = 1
# AMD64 = 1
# G4 = 1
# G5 = 1
# CELL = 1
Just remove the "# " from infront on the "PM = 1" and save and close file then compile MAME as normal, you will note that the MAME exe produced is now called mamepm.exe
TheManuel:
Thanks.
I am actually compiling a MAME Plus version which looks a little different than that and did change i686=1 lines to pm=1 lines. In the end I got a mame file called mamepmp.exe which I imagine is the PM optimized build but it did not make a difference on game performance. Oh well. I'll keep looking.

For those interested, most of the optimized versions are available online:

Wonder if there's much differene between the P4 and PM version?
TheManuel:
Thank you.
I had seen that website but there is no PM version.
