Hey thanks a lot! I downloaded this version and it is still a little twitchy with the sound, but it is a LOT better. Any other things you can think of?

Try FastMame 84.

Good news and bad news!

First off, thank you all for the posts I really do appricite the community helping its fellow members out even if I am a "lurker" or whatever. I fooled around a little more with .97 and it plays almost all games with little sound problems. MK1 is still horrible, and Marvel vs capcom still has a little studder here and there but its 99.99% better than what it was.

Now that bad news: I moved all my roms from my default location to the .97 rom folder, then updated gameex in both advance config, and setup wizard but gamex cannot find it. It even gives me the error when I start up gamex "cannot find rom folder". Not sure but Im assuming you will need to know where in my pc I have it, and my log file. I had my original mame just on the desktop under "arcade" and I made a new folder called mame.97.

Uh if I do post the wrong file please let me know, Im trying not to be such a pain but heck Ill say it Im a noob to gamex.

Take the . out of the folder name.

There is a command switch to allow you to specify a seprate rom directory.

Id really just recommend putting everything in one place.

Well just call me Dr. Alan Grant!

I have officially killed off my dinosaur mame machine and upgraded.

Like the rest of the world my finances are not that great so I didint go "top of the line" but I still shelled out like $500.

Heres the specs:

AMD Phenom 8400 triple-core (I didint even know they made tri-cores I thought they went from dual to quad)

4gb DDR2 memory (cant find the speed sorry)

320G sata hd

GeForce 9400 GT 512 MB DDR2 video card.

Not bad in my opinion. Going from my P2 or whatever the heck it was to this is quite a upgrade!

Now, Ive actually got Gauntlet Legends and Gauntlet Dark Legacy to play for about 5-10 mins before it locks up. So Im wondering if anyone else has got any of the "unplayable" .chd games to play.

Ok, I refreshed myself on all the rules. Sorry about that it won't happen again.

Oh, you bought a new computer? I was just gonna suggest you try Raine or FB Alpha (as these often emus run games much faster than MAME does).
