Mame32 does seem to perform a little bit better, but it doesn't outperform the pentium compiled dos mame versions that i've tried.(posted 9026 days ago)the real problem is playbackability. do you want to be able to playback other peoples recordings? do you want other people to playback your recordings "100 versions" from now? If the answer to both those is yes, use dos mame and hopefuly win98 will boot on 2k.
