MAME and cpu question - a bit off topic

[LucasBarton]

I'm getting ready to get a newer cpu for my HTPC and I'm wanting to get games in MAME like Rave Racer, Ridge Racer, NFL Blitz, etc. to run full speed. Does anyone have those running full speed on their PC, or is are the drivers not optimized enough in MAME? If any does, what cpu would you recommend, preferably Intel? If I remember correctly, speed in MAME goes more by your cpu power than your video card. Any info would be great.

you will not get full speed..

Id look into nebula for the racing games as it will emulate them quicker.

you might be able to run nfl blitz full speed with mame 106... Mame 118 really slows the CHD's down even KI is unplayable on modern systems but works great on older builds like the one mentioned.

Is there a config file for the Vivanonno emulator available? I mainly want to play Rave Racer and Ridge Racer but I couldn't get the emu to work through GameEX. I used the search bar but couldn't find anything.

I dont think so...

Can you tell me if it supports mame rom set?

Thanks

Unfortunately, it doesn't support the mame set. I tried but it wouldn't work. The dumps aren't the same.

So, any luck making an config for Vivanonno? I haven't been able to get it to work. It's a shame that no work has been done on the emu for 3 or so years. Ridge Racer and Rave Racer are two of my favorite arcade racing games, so I was really excited when this emu came out.

Honestly I havent looked for dumps it supports..

I did get the emu but after I read it didnt work with mame romsets I lost focus..

I'll take another crack at it later
