The old classics Frogger, DK, Pac-man, Jungle King ect work great. I also think my expectations were a bit high. I did have a little trouble with the audio and video on a couple of the real low end machines but when I used the correct version of mame (v.55) roms with that option I chose in set-up, it helped alot. So really the set-up options may be somewhat limited at the moment but you can still get most old computers to work if you have that ISA sondblaster card. Not to mention the different mobo, HD & cd-rom manufacturers. That is different brands (Dells, Gateways, IBM's, Mitak's, emachine's ect.) Diff cpu styles (slot and conventional) Diff cpu speeds (166mhz - 800mhz) Diff ram sizes & styles (64mb simms - 256mb dimms) and all kinds of video cards. Now obviously I couldn't have tried every different system combination out there, but of the 24 I've tried so far, they have, for the most part, been different. And when asked only choose the P1 (i586) processor. When asked which mame version, only v.55 worked regularly. I couldn't get any PCI cards to work, no matter if they were soundblaster or esonic or whatever.
Sound card must be an ISA Soundblaster type. I have got all the computers I've tried (24) to work with the boot cd as long a I follow a few guide lines: Or perhaps some more RAM if I can figure out what they need. I thought also about putting in a faster CPU (currently running 166's & 200's) if I kind find some.
Do you have any other ideas on what I could do to help speed things up some? Is there some more things in the Mame.cfg that can be changed? I have talked to a guy and hopefully I can get some sets that match the optimized versions on the Boot CD.Ĭraig, do you think that this may be my problem? I've tried changing the samplerate to 11025 (even 5512) and it didn't make a difference and when I changed the resolution to 320 x 240 it crashes. I am running MAME v.36 roms with the optimized V.55 of MAME so I am wondering if this could be the problem. They look pretty good and I could probably live with the chop however the sound is driving me nuts.
I can get the games to run but they are just a tiny bit choppy and the sound is a little scratchy. The ones that I was having problems with earlier got resolved by using the v.55 mame option along with the pent 1 option during setup that someone mention earlier. I've gotten several more of my machines to work with this puppy. Well, I've had a few days over the holiday's and have been tinkering around with the boot cd and thought I would post my progress.
