And again works well with six axis controller.
Did you have any trouble with lockups?

Tried my favorite "Tumble Pop", not a good result
Ghosts and Goblins works great and is a fun classic. Time Pilot, Rampage, Gauntlet are all playable. Mr. Do...

Never heard of Tumble Pop. Too slow?

ah, im new to the emulation topic on n900,
so, after upgrading to power kernel, "Tumble Pop" runs great with 900MHz on this Version.

Some Animations are missing, have this something to do with some sort of frameskip, or isnt there any fs on mame emulation?

Nothing special on Tumble Pop, have some childhood memories related to it

But it was published by Data East, and its just a fine arcade game

Played a whole fight which was a three rounder (got beat as usual) and it didn't lock up.

How long into the rom running are you experiencing this lockup up?

Frameskip is set to automatic, so it's possible what you are noticing is missing frames. If you run it from the command line (/opt/mame/mame.sh tumblepo (or whatever the mame name for tumblepop is)), you will see afterwards what the actual speed was. There's also a way to access that information from the menu (one of the volume buttons will open menu).

In SF2 i usually get it during the first fight but not always. I've been getting it in other games too but not as predictably (in GnG it hasn't ever happened). I'm still not sure that it's not a peculiarity with the setup on my N900 because i haven't had complaints, so that's why i ask.

I haven't had such problems with mame in general, apart from the odd bad rom.

The games i play mostly are dragon busters,hyper sports and commando etc for long periods with six axis and TV out and i have no issues with mame locking up. So it could be your phone setup.

Are you waiting for the next version of mame to be released before you release your latest build?

I'm very glad to hear that. I may make a few necessary tweaks and promote it to testing then.

There was some major reorganization in 138u1(?) and it seemed best to wait to bump the version until a few releases have gone by to allow for things to settle down. I did spend a lot of time profiling a couple weeks ago, compiling with some different compiler switches, and trying to figure out how best to optimize without specific hacks. (Also inquired about the slowdown in rtype--i think it's just part of the ROM and maybe was that way in the actual arcade. Have you tried it e.g. on a PC?) blah blah long story short all the things i tried were detrimental to performance. Actually, the main SDL developer for MAME suggested that MAME4all would probably be a better option for this hardware. lol

Yeah it would be better to wait unitil you can release a version which has some significant improvements and in the meantime you can concentrate on other projects.

R-type works fine on pc mame 0138 and also works fine on mame4all 2.5 on the gp2x wiz (although this version is based on mame 0.37b5).

How big a job would it be for you to port a command line mame4all from the WIZ or pandora versions so i/we can compare performance against the current N900 version, mainly on the sluggish roms which should run ok?

link to souce code for WIZ version hope this helps

The only way - i think - is by searching your roms through the GUI with the alphabet

For example:-

pressing A will bring up most of your roms beginning with A and you can do the same with other letters of the alphabet.

OR

you can spell out the rom name and it will show up in the list:-

typing dragon

will bring up

dragon busters
dragon ninja
dragon spirit.......... etc etc

Hope this helps
