Hi,
Many fans of MAME out there? I remember an old thread talking about playing NBA JAM/TE on MAME... good times (Shaq + Penny; D-Rob and Sean Elliot etc).
Anyways, even though I have heavvily addicted to JAM, I liked Konami's Run & Gun and the sequal more. More challenging than JAM, and you get to stay on if you are winning. Usually you would be way up in the first quarter, then the computer would be crazy making buzzer beater 3's, monster tip jams, and huge blocks. Unfortunately, only the first Run and Gun works on MAME (unless they've finally got a working rom for it). If you haven't got it to work, you need to hold F2 and press F3 a few times to get it cranking.
Now to my real question... does anyone have NBA Play by Play (like an updated version of Run and Gun, with 3D characters, NBA rosters, and 45 degree camera angle) to work on MAME - at a decent speed? If so, what are your specs? I've got it going at about 8 real seconds to every 1 game second. Then again, I've got it running on a pretty old system (Pentium M 1.4; 768MB ram). I'm keen to upgrade just so I can play it (Time Crisis is also a similar speed), but I want to do a 'minimal' upgrade.
BTW, if you are looking for MAME and are a newbie, I suggest MAME32 (just google it). Then google MAME roms for the actual games... rom-world is pretty sweet.
