M.A.M.E. and Killer Instinct

[SnApRoLl]

Hello all,
I have been successfully using mame 0.103u2 to play Killer Instinct 1 & 2 and all of my other favorite roms for  a while now and I found a very cool program here from fronty-dev called DS Knocker for Q-bert. I noticed that DS Knocker only works with mame v 111 or higher. Ok, well I tried the latest version of mame and now Killer Instinct runs slooow and the sound is choppy.  So I down graded to mame v 0.112 and Killer Instinct runs poorly on that version as well.  But if I go back to mame 0.103u2, Killer Instinct works great. But I'd like to use DS Knocker so Q-bert will a bit more authentic with the knocker sound.
Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem might be?

My computer specs are as follows,
P-4 2.0ghz H.T.
1gb DDR ram
256mb GeForce PCI graphics card,
Win XP Media Center 2005 w/ sp2
21" crt monitor
 Also I tried playing around with the graphics settings in the newer mame versions and still no success. 

Thanks,

Shawn

No idea what's wrong, but why not keep using 0.103u2 to play Killer Instinct and your other favorites, and just use .111 or .112 to play Q*Bert?

I hear the latest version made some good speedups in KI (but many others slowed down). 

But if your using a frontend, most can handle more then one version of mame.  Many doesn't do it well though

I think Atomic FE can?
also I never used it but I think Game launcher can
