best MAME to run CAVE 3rd Gen/Deathsmiles game fast/crisp

[schnoo]

I just bought this PC that seems like it would be powerful enough:

it's been a while since i've been in the PC emu biz.

the Mame i am using is called mameuifx32.

are there settings, drivers, tweaks i can do to have mame use this HD GPU and multicore CPU?

[matrigs]

there isn't any advantage from having a fast gpu using mame. also afaik mame doesn't handle multicores well so you'll better off having a powerful single core than 4 weaker ones.

still the pc you posted should have enough juice.

search for "slowpoke" builds on google.

Does Raiden 2 and Raiden DX work with the slowpoke builds?

if my 2.2ghz first generation Core 2 Duo Mobile laptop has enough juice to play Deathsmiles without dropping frames, that thing should be able to.

hey, what version of Mame are you using? I imagine I need to change it up.

Some random version of this famed slowpoke version that I found online.

ah ok. i found it online too. deathsmiles now works great.

I cut and paste my mame.ini to make this one work.

thanks for the help shmups!

So is the SH3 driver still flawed then, or is work still being carried out on it to improve it even though official MAME builds dont support the SH3 drivers.

Also what version of MAME was the last release that Raiden 2 and DX worked in?

[Despatche]

Don't use MAME to play these games.

Raiden II and DX have never worked in MAME.

[matrigs]

there won't be any further development in mame with the sh3 drivers.

the demul guys were supposed to be working on cracking it. no info on that though.

you should read the "too close for comfort" topic for details.

2500K 3,3 overclocked 4,2
on mameplus64-143u9 sh3 run 550-650%
- for ideal working game neededd minimum 150%
200% efficiency on 1080p (with filter HQ3+scanlines) it looks cool

on mame 64bit SH3 run more faster than on 32bit
and
multithreading get you +3-5%

Dude, why are you still using filters??, HLSL mode is the way to go in MAME now....
