1up, have one question, and I want you to answer honestly
. Do the few games you have running actually play at full speed with sound? I got a new ViewSonic v37 with 400mhz xscale processor (must be like 4 times faster than that cassiopia) and with the processor cranked at max performance, I still can't get any roms to play at 100% speed with sound correctly. Sure I could live with jerky games with crappy sound, or no sound and 100% speed, but it wouldn't be much fun to play.
Anyway, just wondering how playable your setup really is. Also wondering if you tried robotron with the dual joysticks
.
According to the guy who made MAME-CE3, PDA sound just sucks, period. I have found this is the same on both my 133mhz Cassiopeia and my 400mhz Dell Axim, whether I'm running PocketNES, MAMECE-10x or MAME-CE3. Apparently, there are too few handles for the programmers to take advantage of, so the sound emulation is some kind of cheat.
I really don't mind not having sound, just as long as the emulation runs smoothly. So the answer is, most of the games will run at or near 100% with sound off, some will run pretty well with it on, but the quality runs from crappy to unlistenable.
(Speaking of unlistenable, my wife is watching Temple Of Doom on DVD, and it really brings out just how awful that movie was with all of Willy's annoying screaming and bitching...

)
BTW, I am running MAME-10X on the Cassiopeia, since it's optimized for the older Casios and runs the smoothest. My Dell Axim runs everything like a dream on MAME-CE3, even games that MAME-10X doesn't support. However, the dell tends to crop some games that fit perfectly on the Casio's screen. Lower res I guess?

Oh yeah, I don't think Robotron works with this version of MAMECE, so I dunno. I know the diagonals probably won't work with the Cassiopeia, so it would be hard to play... I have tried Battlezone with the dual sticks and it works fine, though vector games tend to be a bit sluggish.
Patsy says, "It's only a model...."
Good one, Rampy.

But you forgot to have him *shrug* when he says it!

BTW, this one's my working MAME entry, but I'm working on another "model" that I think you all may like...
