Newbie here planning a cabinet! Tons of questions
dkubarek:
Spinach, I would think that you could get MK3 to run well with an AMD 1.5. What version of Mame?
Spinach:
.128 with Mala FE
I can get it run on our laptop, almost same specs but newer, so I'm thinking it is the video card. On my Mame dedicated computer I run a Savage card. I believe it is 32MB total with only 8MB dedicated. Windows XP Home SP3. Tekken will also work on the laptop but not the old desktop.

Spinach I would agree with you that it may be the vid card. Have you tried going into BIOS and giving the card more RAM(That is if you have any to spare) Its been a LOOOOOONG time since I messed with a Rage card but I thought you could pop into BIOS and allocate more "shared" ram for it to grab. I could be just :blah: :blah: :blah:ing though......
Spinach:
I don'[t really mess too much with the system. I'm not very computer risky. I can read directions but changing the way a system works is a bit much for me. I will however consider it. Could I do it through windows or do I need to hit the F10 button and make a change that way?
I don't mind too much right now as I am almost done with the cab and will then delve into process of making everything just right. That should take me another 2 years!
The other difference I just thought of was the laptop is a Pentium. I suppose that could also make a difference.
Thanks for the help :cheers:

I am also running a dinosaur, an 800Mhz PIII, and can play all old games pre-1990. Some after 1990 can play but the likes of Mortal Kombat and NBA Jam can't play. I just made sure I got the MK for Sega CD and run that just fine through Kega Fusion and I also run the four player SNES NBA Jam T.E. just fine as sort of an end around.
I did manage to come across a P4 hand me down just last week that's a 1.6 Mhz. I have all the most advanced 2d games, including UMK3 and Street Fighter The Movie, and some 3d games, like Virtua Fighter, running on it. The original Tekken though is still sluggish.
