MAMEUI32-Mortal Kombat II problems

[JoshM22]

I have all the revisions of this game along with the parent rom for the arcade version of this game. I just started playing the game to relive the arcade experience. The graphics aren't quite as sharp as the real arcade version, but i can let that slide. Anyways i noticed during game play the sound comes in and out. Also the game speed is quite slow. I know the arcade version was not this sluggish. Anything i can do to get the game back up to speed? I wonder if the speed was corrected when the bootleg versions were taken outta the equasion? Cause the boot files sped up the game or so i heard.

This is old computer you have but it should run Mortal Kombat II just fine. I had Geforce4 MX 440 256mb with pentium 4 before but not anymore because I have new powerful computer on the way but your computer can run this game without a problem.

I do believe it has 256 mb of RAM that should be enough to run this game. I will try again today and see how it runs. I have been having some registry problems so some functions have been slow e.g. internet and flash online video play from time to time.

Is everything ok ?

[JoshM22]

It should be. I used Advanced Windows Cleaner two days ago. The game should work fine. I did close out some uneeded programs and that sped up the game a bit. The audio however is still stutters. I am shocked my computer won't play this game right. I also use PJ64 a N64 emulator and it handles most of those games just fine.

Mame had a video rewrite at version 0.107 that beefed the required specs up significantly and the current recommended spec for newer versions of mame is a 2Ghz procesor and 1Gb of ram.

Bear in mind that 256Mb is the minimum recommended spec just to run Windows XP.

If you use a version of mame <0.107 then things should run significantly faster. Old versions of mame32 can be found here www.joymonkey.com.

Hope that helps.

What is the point of beefing up specs? Most of the older games like this shouldn't need that right? Is there a way to get these games to look better? They look a little pixelated not too smooth.
