Cheer up Frankie. You don't have to self-deprecate every time you post a question, and hell, if you don't want other people to see, just e-mail one of the Editors privately. We're always happy to help.(posted 9255 days ago)I can field your last question. The main reason that tg.35 runs better is because it is .35 cycle and not .37 cycle
Every new version of MAME gets slower and less efficient, with the exception of the one where they speeded up the Midway drivers for Mortal Kombat/Smash TV. If you frequent the #MARP chats, a number of players complain that MAME already has enough games, and the DEV team should spend more time fixing existing games, optimizing speed, and cleaning up drivers and settings.
