Some of these games play jerky. They play smoother at the
arcade and there was no Athlon 64 computers even 10 years ago.
What kind of cpu were in those arcade boxes?

which games??

might be something else.


but you might need a 10ghz cpu too.

For example, King of Fighters. The screen is all jerky. The
dust is blowing across and erasing what's under it seems like.

It is called E-M-U-L-A-T-I-O-N

MAME emulates the CPUs and GPUs and sound chips. Emulating a processor,
even with a faster processor, is slow.

The whole machine, but the coin door.

Just so you know, there are several KOF ROMs, which one is giving you
problems? What version of MAME are you running?

Please dont top post in here, thanks!

There were several there I tried, I think it might have been
2000. It seemed slowing and jerky too on metal slug.

Even with emulation, I would think that the cpu we have now is
100 times better than the cpus back then so that should more
than make up for emulation.

Yeah, there are like 9 different sequals, plus the clones, etc (SNK has
made a yearly release of KoF since '94)

You might want to check out FastMAME. (http://www.geoshock.com)

It could be emulation, or it could be the actual hardware..

Whilst playing, press F10 (or F11 I forget which) & 9in the top right
corner will show a FPS...

If this is at a constant 60/60 then your CPU is not the bottleneck & its
likely the cause is the original hardware slowing down on the original
board.

If it fluctutes, then it is the CPU thats the cause. & you can either try
different frameskips to see if it makes a difference, or get a faster
CPU.

Thanks for helping, thanks to the others also.

Too many smartasses here, I don't know what they're trying to
achieve. If it's trying to be funny, then they should hit the
comedy circuit and try to make some money.

Don't be too hard on them. If it was something that can actually be
solved, they can be /extremely/ helpful.

Unfortunately, MAMEDev is only interested in getting the games
/running/, not running /well/. (As one fellow put it, ".....seem to use
a 'Rube Goldberg' problem-solving approach to some problems.")
Fortunately, the FastMAME crew have optimized MAME somewhat, so you
might want to give it a try. (http://www.geoshock.com)
