Yes, it can be split into two threads, one for the general emulation, and the other for GFX emulation/rendering. Each thread will run on different cores.

How is this achieved?  Is it automatic, or is there a setting somewhere?

I'm running .119 MAME (hacked for no nag screens and optimized for dual core AMD)   <---- is mine already set to be split by doing the hack?

Just curious...

In INI/Mame.ini, under "WINDOWS PERFORMANCE OPTIONS" set multithreading to 1.


EG

#
# WINDOWS PERFORMANCE OPTIONS
#
priority                  0
multithreading            1

Is what it is in my Mame.ini file. (It is a selectable option in MAME32/UI from the user interface as well.)

Yeah, I had that enabled in my mame.ini file already.  So I guess I'm good to go.   ;D

Thanks!

P.S. - I'm running .119 on an AMD 4200+ dual core with 2GB RAM.  Originally I ran it on an AMD 4000+ chip and it still ran smoothly.  The extra +200 didn't really make any difference.  Either way, everything runs great.
