Problem with the sound

[Guest Evil]

Hi everybody!!!

I have a 1000 mhz procesor, a 64 MB graphic card and 512 MB of ram.

Every emulators runs perfects, but sound in mame games stutters a little sometimes, then come back normal sound.

What can i do to stop this?

The games runs perfect, but sound and music sometimes stutters. It appears both in gameex or directly in mame32.

Any tip?

Thanks a lot, and excuse my bad english, i wish you understand me and the problem i post here.

Thanks!

Sounds (no pun intended) like you have internet applications running in the background that eats up your RAM. I get this too, especially when running EMule and MAME at the same time.

Thats not the problem, because i havent internet connection in the pc i have installed mame.

I was seeing other configs whit good results, but the problem is that frames are not every time at 100%.

Do you think that i have a good pc for mame emulator? Other emulators than snes, or master system runs perfect in this pc... i dont understand it...

What config can i do to the higest ram and processor result with that pc????

Can i use other mame emulator for best results than mame32???

Thanks a lot!!

Have you tried optimizing your PC for games usage? What I mean is disabling certain windows services, and stopping things starting up with the PC such as messenger, tray ICONS, Video control panel. Also disabling unused hardware in the BIOS such as parralel and serial ports. For example, if your not using Wireless networking disable the service. If your not using messenger, dont let it start with windows.

Theres some links on the docs page for optimizing.

Also use Startup control panel, for disabling the memory/resource eating apps from starting up each time windows loads.

Also, get the latest 'specific manufacturer device' drivers, dont rely on windows update.

Also - use .net framework 1.1 SP1

You could also try a different mame build specific to your CPU, or also FastMAME.

I would use command line version of MAME rather than MAME32. I am pretty sure MAME32 uses more memory, as the GUI takes it up.
