MAME 0.176 on Raspberry Pi benchmarks
08/11/16 09:11 PM


ChoccyHobNob has released some RasPi benchmarks today with current MAME, showing the performance increases across the generations of Raspberry Pi's. Be sure to check it out!

There are a lot of accusations about MAME being slow, about how it is a documentation project, not an exercise in performance tuning. Most people seem to think that a 20 year old version of MAME is the best you can hope for out of a Raspberry Pi. I’m here to say that’s not the case. If you set your expectations at a reasonable level, you tweak your settings in a sensible way, and you overclock wherever you can, you will probably be pleasantly surprised.

MAME benchmarks are run without using the display or sound devices, this keeps the benchmarks purely about MAME’s performance, and tries to take any bottlenecks with the host system out of the loop. In the case of the Raspberry Pi, the GPU gives the performance a pretty good beating, meaning that games need to run quite a bit faster than 100% to be playable.
