Name one game that was fully emulated in .84 that has since become "unplayable" because of "bloat." Bloat of course being something inconsequential to the emulation of the game itself, like the artwork system, high score saving, etc, not correct sound emulation or some such.

So you are upset that you can't use an 11 year old processor in MAME anymore? Really? Do you also lament the dropping of DOS support? I haven't seen a PIII sold in stores since like 2002, where would you even find one? Why would you even want too? You can get much newer chips for under $50 these days. Even so, what games made before 1985 have speed issues? Baring LD games or maybe I, Robot or some other game with crazy hardware I can't think of any that should be having problems even on your antique system. CPU age is like dog years; by my calculations your system is around 55-75 years old.

Hacks make things faster, not slower, mate.

Again, what titles? Are you trying to run the game in a crazy resolution or with artwork or what?

And what is this bloat you keep talking about? What bloat feature is slowing down your system? You talk about all these games that are slow and all these features that are causing issues on your Clinton Era machine yet you never mention specifics. We can't help you fix your problems if you don't tell us what the problem is.
