Should I update MAME?
Mr. Dude:
Hey Guys,
I've been out of the loop for a while and am currently running MAME version 0.96. I'd like to update mainly so I can play Radiant SilverGun. My machine has an AMD Sempron 2600+ processor, 512 mb of RAM, a NVidia Geforce 5200 128 mb graphics card and Windows XP SP2 and it runs my current setup pretty decently. So is it worth it for me to upgrade so I can play one game? And if so what version would fit my system well? Thanks!
retrometro:
yes
DaveMMR:
Download a new version of MAME and test it out (you'll have to update your rom set too if you're testing all the games). If it's just for the one game, there's nothing stopping you from running multiple versions of MAME (except for extra work configuring a front-end).
My copy of MAME .99 runs most games faster than .116. So why do I keep .116 around? Bubble Bobble. :dunno

You may find several games that do not run to your satisfaction with your machine if you use the latest Mame. I agree with DaveMMR that you should test carefully before going to too much trouble. I like using multiple versions of Mame, and my computer is faster than yours. I use the latest Mame, but on the games that run too slowly, I use a pre-.106 version.

I like .79
