>finally update my mame after many years>some games now run worse
F
>>12586595You forgot to update all 90GBs worth of romset, since some dumps may have changed or been rearranged.
kek, it do be like that doe
>>12586595That's because the emulation improved and became more demanding. Upgrade your PC or stick to the old versions. Also>updatingNever do this. Create a whole new folder.
>>12586595Which games?
>>12586595specify
>>12586632>Create a whole new folder.truth. then go back and move .ini files that might be needed like mame.ini or at least keep them for reference.
>>12586671Carnevil is running at 90% speed with the newest mame when it ran at 100% with 0.220. Another game I had a problem with was Fantasy, which no longer has voices when running on the newest mame.
>>12586723>FantasyYou do have the samples for the voices, right? IIRC, Fantasy was one of the games that required samples to play all audio correctly.
>>12586757Okay, I didn't know that. My old mame already had those samples so I just had to move them. Thanks.
>>12586595>I have altered the neogeo bios>pray I don't alter it any furtherevery mame update ever
>>12586595You fucked up. That's not how MAME is meant to be used. In general, there is a specific version that you will want to use for any given game on any given platform, depending on what tradeoffs you care about (speed vs accuracy etc.). If everything is working how you like it, you don't need to change anything. You can always go back to the older version you were using.
> Sega Model 2 breakthrough: Daytona USA, Virtua Cop, Virtua Cop 2, Dead or Alive, Gunblade NY, and others saw major working-status and graphics progress.> Late-'90s PlayStation-based arcades improved: G-Darius, Ray Storm, Strider 2, Aero Fighters Special, and more became newly working or more playable.> Taito F3 video got a major accuracy pass: effects in Darius Gaiden, Elevator Action Returns, and related games now look closer to real hardware.> Real MCU dumps replaced old simulations: games like Gallop, Kangaroo, and E.D.F. moved away from guesswork toward authentic chip behavior.> Rare arcade history was recovered: titles like 119, Tangram Q, Moon Raker, Back Fire, and Waku Waku Jumbo became better preserved.> Namco 3D systems kept improving: System 22/23 graphics fixes for games like Time Crisis, Dirt Dash, and other major polygon-era arcades.> Sega Model 3 graphics improved too: lighting and visual fixes> Famous 2D games got visible fixes: Konami, Irem, CPS-2, and other arcade drivers saw blending, priority, flip-screen, collision, and display fixes.> SNK Hyper Neo Geo 64 sound improved> Sound and controls improved broadly: newer MAME added better audio handling, lower-latency options, and more practical lightgun reload behavior.
>>12586723>Carnevil is running at 90% speed with the newest mameLet me guess, you need more?
>>12586838I dont believe any of that
>>12586723>Carnevil is running at 90% speed with the newest mame when it ran at 100% with 0.220.Did some digging, the only thing I see between 0.220 and now that might have that effect is they completely rewrote the Voodoo video driver, which the Seattle hardware used. 0.233 is the last version of mame using the older Voodoo driver, so that's the most recent version you can use that will still play Carnevil at 100% speed on your hardware. The other alternatives are to reverse the commit manually on the current codebase and compile current mame with the old Voodoo renderer(good luck), or to get hardware with better single-core performance since mame has not and will never function multi-core.
>>12586595>>12586723>my computer is a toaster>how dare you, mame developersdrivers get upgraded, your computer gets older. it's an emulator that aims to be somewhat accurate as the original hardware. this takes more computing resources. sometimes shortcuts that gave performance boosts are removed in favor of better accuracy and performance but older machines can't cope with it.see:>>12587258cope. buy a new computer that isn't a toaster.
>>12586595i assume by "run worse" you mean run slower. mame is primarily a preservation effort, so they will always opt for accuracy over performance, it's why sometimes people run older versions of mame
>>12586595Get a more recent CPU for your setup.
Emulation accuracy is a meme. You shouldn't need a powerful processor to emulate Neo Geo or CPS, and that's why FBNeo and Mame 2003 Plus are GOATED.
>>12586595Isn't it a pure preservation project that doesn't give a fuck about casual players?
>>12588558that's correct. being able to play the games is just a side-effect, their goal is preservation, which is unlike most other emulator projects. it's why mame is generally your last option if you just want to play the games, as it's the most demanding to setup and run
Nuh uh, OP those games are running better because they're more accurate now.
>>12586595uses these:mame 2003mame 2007mame 2010those are the best builds.
>>12586595and now you can't play akai katana anymore
>>12586608>some dumps may have changed or been rearrangedit do be lik dat
>>12588959Of those, which is the best?
>>12587258what part of the infographic is wrong? it's based on the release notes
>>12586795Kek
if you need mame rom torrent you can go to pleasuredome dot github dot io slash pleasuredome slash mame
>>12586608You're supposed to update your set every time there's a new release. Takes five minutes.
>>12590037dhalsim is based tho
