« on: November 15, 2014, 08:14:15 AM »
Hi All

Personally, I'd check the MAME or BYOAC forums  Lotta good expertise out there.

Thanks,

weird, the only thing I can think of is that version .155 is using a instruction set not supported by the atom processor.  Isn't it kind of slow running it on that notebook?

Any chance the OS is 64bit ?
Control Panel, System will tell you that.
If so your 32bit program you will need to set to run in compatibility mode, Create an Icon on your desktop, right click, properties, compatibility mode.

For what it's worth, 64-bit architecture will yield about another 20-30% performance gain in MAME.

You can just type the name of the game and the contents of the game display will change accordingly.
