MAME on an A1200
« on: August 25, 2010, 12:47:38 AM »
Hi:
I've got some time with the Amiga (5 months or so) and yes, I've heard about MAME for Amigas, but only for OS4 in an Amiga Future Magazine.
 
The thing is that this afternoon I've found in Aminet, searching for other things, the MAME for 060 (http://aminet.net/package/misc/emu/mame060#contents)
 
I've installed it (I have a Blizzard 1260) and, to my surprise, it works!. I've tried Galaga, Asteroids and Shinobi and Rolling Thunder even, but as you can imagine they play, but very slowly.
 
I've got the blizzard running with a 71E41J mask, two fans (above and below it) and overclocked to 66 mhz.
 
Has anyone an Amiga running MAME? Shall I overclock mine up to for example 75mhz? Which should be the minimum configuration to run it?

Thanks, but I forgot to say it's a desktop Amiga: no graphics card.
Is there a good MAME version for it? What's worse is the speed and the music...
And excuse my ignorance, but what's the best hardware add on for graphics for a desktop A1200?

Hi:
I've just made a bad video with my mobile of my Amiga working, if someone wants to see it:

I've tried overclocking it to 80mhz, but it plays the same way. If you read the MAME instructions, it says it's made to use with a graphics card. I've left the Amiga with 66Mhz again...

What I would like to hear is that the new Indivision Aga Flicker Fixer would include some kind of gfx effects. That would be the best they could do. I've heard it will be the best they've done and it's worth to wait for it to be for sale, but don't know if they can do something like this or which will be the improvements... Coudn't they make it?

And a question about MAME. I believe there's somekind of console that can play it's games directly on tv. Which is it?
 
Edit: Oh, I forgot to add... at a reasonable prize...

I'm starting to look for a GP2X Wiz, which seems the best, but I'm not sure if I can connect it to a tv and plug in a joystick, and which type of joystick is it...

I've bought finally a Dingoo A330 console to play MAME and others. It seems cheaper and better than the Gp2x Wiz, as it has the possibility to connect a wireless controller, that the Wiz doesn't. And the best is that it's around half the prize!
