There are a couple of settings which can be changed to significantly improve the performance of XMAME and make the games run at full speed.

To make these changes:

  1. Load GXMame ( the front end for XMAME) from the advanced menu.
  2. Go to the option menu.
  3. Choose Default Options.
  4. Click the Display tab.
  5. In the Resolution section – set Height scale and Width scale to 2

Screenshot

  1. Click the Rendering tab.
  2. In the Video Mode Menu box select the XVideo option.
  3. Make sure the full screen option is turned off.

Screenshot-1

  1. you won’t to able to see the OK button on screen so press the Alt and o keys to save your settings.

When you play your games now they should run at good speed.
