You will need to use a version of Mame 0.106 or earlier. Mame underwent some major architectural changes at 0.107 and has continued to increase the hardware requirements ever since.Bear in mind that Mame roms are updated on a regular basis, so if you're winding back to a much older version of the emulator you are going to need to change/repair/replace a large number of roms too.You can get older versions of the commandline version from the main Mame site and you can get older versions of MameUI/32 fromThere is no tweak you can do to make newer versions of the emulator run faster on that hardware. Newer versions require newer hardware (just like newer games do). So you're stuck either using an older version on that PC or using a more up to date PC with the version and romset that you've got. OK, so here's what happened:I wasn't able to use the 2.6ghz dell computer cuz the motherboard was damaged, USB ports weren't working anymore, but i was able to use the CPU in my IBM computer (talk about good luck)I formated the computer and tried again with mymame 135u1 it worked fine, but when I connected it with my arcade monitor, sound messed up again, before giviong up and using mame 106 I changed direct3d to directdraw, the mame menu looks blurry but the games worked fine! Tried metal slug 5, mortal kombat and galaga (used to stutter) and they are working and look greathope this info could be useful sometimethanks fat trucker for your information about mameI'm glad I was able to use 135u1 because I use a lot the horizontal stretch adjust (already have the monitor adjusted at minimum and I can't see the borders in most games). See all 201 rows on serialnumber.in. Maybe I'm running a.really.
old version of MAME but all my versions of MAME don't run worth a flip on anything higher than XP like Vista or Windows 7.I once had an old IBM with a Pentium 90 that wouldn't run any version of MAME.My favorite version of MAME is version 28 or.28 or something like that. That version will run on anything with a 100 Mhz processor and 32 MB of RAM.Version 30 doesn't allow the screen to stretch so I don't use it much.The last version I downloaded was.36 BETA 11 and never could get it to work right. I stored all my ROMs in directories but the emulator says they don't exist.
My old PC is: HP Pavilion Media Center PC m7334n (which started manufacturing December 2005),AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Dual Core 2GHz CPU, 1GB DDR Memory, HP vs17 17' LCD Monitor.I tried MAME32 0.77 (with alot of matching ROMs), and MAMEUI32 0.187 (with alot of matching ROMs).They were both really slow until I found this simple fix (this makes MAME way faster!):MAME32 0.77:Click 'Options', 'Default Game Options'. Click the 'Advanced' tab, check 'Use DirectDraw', check 'Sync to monitor refresh', click 'Ok'.MAMEUI32 0.187:Click 'Options', 'Default System Options'. Click the 'Advanced' tab, check 'Sync to monitor refresh', click 'Ok'.
