My testing shows that, clock for clock, an RPi4 is nearly twice the performance of an RPi3, and is also clocked higher so the improvements scale up from there. But conversely, hardware speeds up as time goes on. MAME slows down each release because of these accuracy improvements. MAME developer 'Haze' demonstrated this in a recent YouTube video. MAME 0.106 won't have that fix, nor the thousands of other fixes between then and now. Older versions of MAME are faster, but are far less accurate.įor example, there was a major bug discovered in Contra only recently, and a fix supplied by Furrtek.
Your only testing with a single newer version. Do the same test with mame 0.106, and my statement will hold true.
