Ki 1 and 2 are completely different then Blitz. KI is hardly a stress test.

Oh ok I heard that those were two of the harder games to get to run smoothly

I'm not really sure about Blitz but on my cabinet KI 1 and 2 run pretty smooth with no lag. My cab specs are in my signature ;)

This question was already answered in your other thread. Blitz takes an overclocked Dual Core to get any decent FPS. All seattle games are like that.

It's often used in benchmarking to test Mame with overclocked CPU's.

Before I bought the actual boards I was one of those people with a overclocked PC. I dunno about the current crop of processors. But on my E6850 Core Duo O'Cd to 3.8GHz you can play Blitz, 99, 2K Gold with lil slowdown but you can't however play with things like fog on. It will start sounding & playing chopped and screwed.

So then it's cheaper to buy a cabinet and board set than it is to buy a PC capable of playing them? :lol:

Possibly,

In the case of Seattle/Vegas games it is better to buy the boards. You can play with niceities like fog etc. :) I also am a huge fan of the NAOMI system. I see they are starting to emulate that. Probably need a 20Ghz for it :lol:

I've been reading on alot of the newer arcade systems, and they are becoming more and more based around modern day PC hardware than game console hardware. Whereas NAOMI is essentially dreamcast hardware, Sega's newest arcade system board, the Lindbergh is essentially a standard PC inside an arcade cabinet. Due to the fact that the games are originally designed to run on the same hardware found in most home computers, there is a very good chance that if you could get your hands on the files and get past all the anti-piracy measures, VF5 would run better on a modern day high-end PC than NFL Blitz would. It makes little sense, but the idea that NFL Blitz was designed to run on vastly different hardware than what is in your PC makes a all the difference.

The Lindbergh arcade board from SEGA is essentially as follows...

* CPU: Pentium 4 3.0 GHz with 1 megabyte L2 Cache, Hyper Threading Compatible, 800 MHz FSB

* RAM: 184 pin DDR SDRAM PC3200(400 MHz) 512 MiB Ã? 2(Dual)

* GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 6800 AGP (NV40), 256 Bit GDDR3 256 MiB, compatible with Vertex Shader 3.0 & Pixel Shader 3.0

* Sound: 64 channel, 5.1 ch SP-DIF

* LAN: On board, 10/100/1000 BASE-TX. JVS I/O Connector

* Serial: 2 Channel (can switch one channel between 232C and 422)

* Other: USB port x 4, Compatible HDTV (High Definition), DVD Drive Support, Sega ALL.NET online support

* Operating System: Linux[24]

* Protection : High Spec original security module.

My computer is faster than that.

I gave up on waiting for PC hardware to catch up to Blitz. I just went out and got a dreamcast, a controller adapter for my joystiq panel, and voila...

I also use my dreamcast to play other arcade games such as MvC2. I just put the dreamcast in my cabinet.
