As mentioned before, I have a Hewlett-Packard P2-450, 128 megs of SDRAM, 10 gigs of HD space. The only games I've had to use frameskip with on MAME are a few Neo-Geo games... I can't believe how slow Blazing Star is!(posted 9897 days ago)I used to have a Pentium-90, but my friend who had a mild interest in emulation let me do some recordings on his P2-266 too. I've tried to keep my recordings "legit" too, I'd do whatever it took to get the game running 100%, whether it was frameskipping or turning off sound. If I couldn't get full speed, I just left the game alone.
