Re: MAME on an A1200

Im a big, BIG fan of MAME on Amiga and own every game that works with the last version released for OS3 + PPC (0.37b3). Playing games like King of Fighters and Streetfighter II is really fun and they look (and play) absolutely great.
 
Now, the bad news.. I have the fastest ppc for a1200, and I have a bvision. I also have a 060 and I tweaked my system to the max. But still I am not able to play games newer than say, 1990, without disabling sound and using frameskip. There is no way a 060 alone is able to do so, especially not on AGA. You might be able to play some really basic stuff like Pacman and Kungfu Master, but thats about it.

OMG! Great thread!
 
I've been trying out the 060 version of Mame and its awesome, games like Donkey Kong, full speed :)
 
Solomans Key (one of my all time fav arcade games) with a bit of frame skip its awesome!
 
Final Fight, LOL - Slow Motion version :lol: But it works and with the RTG (Voodoo via Mediator)
 
I'm running Blizzard 1260 @50mhz + 128mb/Mediator/Voodoo 5 5500/Soundblaster 128.
 
Guess the Graphics card makes all the difference?

I believe the PPC helps aswell. final fight *almost* plays full speed with sound enabled. I know because I like that game a lot so I fiddled around with it. Without sound it is very playable.

I have like 7 DVD's full of ROMS.

Thats odd. I could barely fill one dvd with all mame games that run on an Amiga :)
