Game & Watch painfully slow through MAME core

RetroArch Windows devices
#1

I’m trying to make the system work these last few days and i finally managed to do it.

Playing the system through MAME is a superior experience because of the much higher resolution assets.

However i have a new problem now. It’s too slow. It runs at 20-25 FPS and that’s when i crop the artwork. If i use Full view, it runs below 10fps. What’s more stupid is that the CPU or GPU aren’t even near 100% so there is plenty of power left (i have a good gaming PC). But it still won’t use it to go full speed.

Naturally, these issues don’t exist in the standalone MAME. I tried disabling everything in the RA video options to make it run better but there is no difference.

Anyone tried this?

Games are still slow in the newer 214 core.

Same here (win7 and linux mint 19.2)

Same for me.

Sorry for hijacking the thread but it would be nice if MADrigal updated his assets with those of MAME :slight_smile:

Must have tried everything, different drivers, different video options, latency options, etc, and the games still crawl around 20-40 fps instead of 60.

CPU/GPU usage are always low so it’s not like it’s the system slowing down. Can someone figure out what causes the slowdown?
