Hey all,
I'm confused...I keep reading that mame32 is for "casual mamers", and that for arcade cabinets regular ol' mame should be used. Well, I'm not a glutton for punishment so much that I want to try to get my SBLive working in DOS, so I tried mame.exe for windows.
Trying both mame.exe and mame32.exe with the Raging Dragon interface, my framerate drops drastically worse for mame.exe. This was when playing Mortal Kombat II. It didn't matter if I was in win98 or winxp.
So, what's the consensus? Is it game specific (some games like mame, some like mame32), or is mame32.exe the way to go now?
Oh, and just for the record, I don't notice any slowdown or other problems if I use the Raging Dragon front-end w/ mame32.exe as compared to just launching the game from mame32.exe's GUI.
Thanks!
