Posted some historical MAME benches

Shoutbox conversation w/ Stiletto led me to adding some historical bench runs going back almost 20 years. Mildly interesting perhaps; information presentation was all over the place.
Does anyone remember what build the str/bench results went from FPS to Percentages?

0.113 was the last version that had "frames_to_run" option.
0.114 began "seconds_to_run".
Additionally, video had to be on all the time before MAME 0.108 when -video none was introduced.

Funny, I just got a new laptop on Friday (10th gen intel with 5.0GHz boost), and I was just now trying to run a bench (few, actually). Looking at the spreadsheets on your site, I assumed that I simply had to run eg. "mame blitz -bench 90", but nothing happens at that point, except for starting a different looking prompt in the cmd window...
What did I miss?
Also... your starsldr numbers are like 63, 66, and 68, but running that game myself, it was stuttering something awful, like when Killer Instinct was first emulated...

Excellent, thanks Tafoid. I wish I would have had my command line on some of the earlier results, laugh.

That's all there is to it, open a cmd prompt. CD to mame directory. Assuming the regular mamedev.org mame binary:
Type 'Mame.exe blitz -bench 90' it will churn with no video output for a bit and then give you the percentage (and also a snapshot of the last frame in the \snap directory).
c:\O\Games\MAME>mame blitz -bench 90
Average speed: 267.50% (89 seconds)
MAMEUI doesn't output to screen so if you use the same command you have to re-direct to file. Don't forget to run through and set up the games one time that need it for the bench run:
crusnusa, gradius4, robotron, sfiii, slrasslt, tekken3.
Regarding Star Soldier, don't forget those result numbers are not FPS they're percentage of full speed. So yeah, it's not near 100% yet. Here's my batch file run from the MAME directory.
Code:
rem 10:49 PM 1/2/2015 go to MAME directory
md Bench
mame -bench 90 blitz > .\bench\blitz.txt

ok, I just had to wait a bit more. blitz ran at 281%. Starsldr ran at 70.21%. Scud... 99.97%, but I don't know how to get it in-game. When I start, I'm stuck on some sort of network screen. I can hear when I insert coins, but that's about it.
Pacman, apart from throwing a zillion warnings about the layout view (should it even be using layouts during a bench?), ran at 12087%. lol... anybody have a 7.25GHz monitor?
Probably an old way of thinking, but I find it difficult to compare the results with real-world use, when I am unable to see the game run like before.

You have to F2 into service mode on Scud and go to game assignments with the 9 key and set the machine type to single so it's not networked.
You can also use the -ftr and -nothrottle options if you want to see audio and video output.
mame dkong -str 90 -nothrottle
