The PC I am currently using is one that my daughter was literally going to throw out.
I am new to building a cab and things (but I pick things up fast) and I always thought that part of the beauty of Mame was its low overhead and that the Roms could run on a very sparse computer. what games do you run that a 3Ghz PC is starting to wane? Just out of curiosity, and I am being sincere not snide. However, when its the only one that works well, it becomes the best option. Out of frustration I may have to go with GameEx, which while a great program, is not really the best option for what I want out of my machine.
#AUDIT ALL GAMES MAME OS X RUNS GAMES 64 BIT#
I would say right now is a rough time to make the jump to a 64 bit OS, just from my personal experience of trying to get a front end to work. Personally I just upgraded to a 64bit processor, and while I love the performance, Im having difficulty with supporting programs, where in XP everything worked. If I want perhaps the best possible performance, but the most difficult time to set things up, with the least support available, which OS should I us? If Im looking to build a cheap machine to run games from the 80's, which OS should I go for? Which OS is the most supported software wise?
Which OS runs mame the fastest with a moderate amount of support and drivers?Ī. The question is too open ended is the problem. But if money was no object I'm sure everyone would upgrade. It's always nice to be able to run some of the more demanding games.īottom line is though 64 bit XP or Vista answers the question, but as cab users, it is something subjective. I don't know if I'll be upgrading my cab any time soon, but I know I will want to eventually. So if I was to build a new cab even the bottom end new PC's are dual core now (E8400 for example is a cheap CPU but perfect for running Mame), so it makes sense to put a 64 bit OS with it. When I built the PC for my cab, a P4 3Ghz was a decent machine for running Mame.
#AUDIT ALL GAMES MAME OS X RUNS GAMES 32 BIT#
So as a cab user, we need to decide whether or not were going to keep up with Mame, 64 bit and dual core's or stay with an old 32 bit OS and perhaps stop updating Mame eventually when the megahertz arn't enough. Check out the benchmarking thread in the main forum. If 64 bit OS's are the future, then the future is already here. The question is "Which OS is best for MAME?" and it's a 64-bit OS meaning XP 64 or Vista 64 without a doubt in my opinion.
