Q. It seems that the default resolution for the emulator is a little blurry. I tried messing the options but didn't find anything that would let me make the picture more pixelated/grainy. Anyone find anything that I may have looked over? Oh, I am using a lcd moniter.
thanks
thanks
A. 1 are you using a video card?
2 are you speaking all games in general or specific games?
3 what size monitor are you using?
OKay generally you might change the monitor res or the videocards res. In a lot of the older games it has to do with the video freq. You need to also remember that MAME is an emulator and could be combining backgrounds, foregrounds and the game. (Bezels).
I'll give you more info soon.
Okay back here is a great article:

Here is the card http://www.ultimarc.com/avgainf.html I recommend in most cases people building arcade machines with the classic monitors.

What is the perfect CPU for running a full Mame Setup?
Q. I ordered the wood already cut to build my cabinet, but I want to know what kind of CPU would be the best possible to run mame at full speed and even the larger ones ( Killer Instinct 2, NBA Jam...etc.) Also running all emulator and roms? What kind of monitor is also recommended? I've seen some really good cabinets people have made searching the net, but I want the full Arcade experience.....
A. Let me start by talking about the monitor. The easiest and most widely used monitor is a LCD 20"+. They are easily installed in cabinets, low heat, and great picture. But when installing any screen you are going to mostly play full screen or horizontal scrollers. Playing vertical scrollers or games like PacMan it gives a visual impact I don't care for, (personal opinion). I make specific cabinets for the two types of viewing.
Now for the CPU always the faster the better as far as the newer games. However the the older games will run tooooo fast and you will have to throttle them down. The bad news Games such as KI2, NBA Jam, and CarnEvil use cpus in the cabinets dedicated for them as well as hard drives dedicated to the processing. Also the emulation may not be 100%. Any game you play thru an emulator will be slower and if the emulator then needs to run a bios or CHD you will find everything slower. Also If you use MAME32 or any other windows based emulator is not as good as the command line version of mame. Technology is still moving fast you can go into a computer shop and ask for the fastest processor and even a dual processor, and the motherboard to go with it. I'm buying 500gb and 1tb drives right now and putting them in the games Im making. Video cards are getting better and better, just get one with plenty of onboard ram and that matches up to what ever monitor you decide on. Spend the money on a goo power supply 700w is fine but clean power. You will need to get an Ipac usb converter for the controls. I use Wireless keyboards and mice. I use the TopGun Guns and lightbars. I don't install disk drives, I either network into the games HD or pull it and edit it on another computer.
Okay the cpu I use the most is http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3476411 I have used this one also great but pricey for no noticeable difference http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2341239. the mother board http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2824015&csid=_25 and keep it well ventilated. This is the video Card I have been using lately http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4042992&Sku=G458-9806. Here is the Ipac http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=76&zenid=d432b25398dfe853e859cc1d34c3c2af
Good luck
