MAME - 'Preview' Release

[Vegeta]

Is it not possible to use virtual memory to get around the 256MB RAM issue?

Will MAME CHD Games work with this and if so where do i put the CHD Files? Thanks and i am looking forward to future releases of this. I have been waiting a long time for this for my PS3!!!

I've registered just to tell how much I am pleased that we now have MAME on our PS3s. This alone is a reason to buy and jailbreak this console. And for a preview release, you've already given us something that looks extremely promising.

Very big thanks to you, Robo Hobo!

I dont think so.

Trying to answer some questions here.

On cheats, you currently can't use them. MAME requires a command line switch to enable them and it isn't present in the released front end. I've already added the needed code and the next release will have them available.

CHD files are untested, but you should place them in the same folder as your roms. I don't know how mame handles them, but I assume many games that use them will hit the memory ceiling.

I've tested the Mortal Kombat games on the latest builds and they work in a binary sense. MK1 ran at about 80% speed. and I quit MK3 because the emulation was taking too long to get past the first info screen, counter said 4% but is was almost certainly slower than that.

GameOS doesn't support virtual memory, even if it did disk access is slow enough to make it useless.

I'll add some build instructions later, it's pretty simple but takes over an hour on my C2D e8500.

out of memory!

does that mean the game is currently unplayable? I got that error with MvC, SvC and KoF

Unfortunately, yes. I tested Marvel vs Capcom with the new osd (that ditches the overhead of SDL) and it works. So you can try again after the next release.
