PS3 Arcade Emulation Help

[CrapandCrapster]

I am running Final Burn Neo 10.0,0.100 I believe its the latest update and it runs SNES and Genesis roms fine, but it runs all arcade games super slow even old games like Pacman do load and work they just run super slow. I see other people emulate arcade games on PS3 at a normal speed and so I do know that it is possible to run arcade games such as MAME games to run normally, it is just something that I am missing that they are doing that I am not. I have done everything i could possibly do, I even tweeked all the settings in final Burn and it did not matter or improve the speed whatsover. Someone please help.

With Arcade Games you need to make sure you have the correct romset for that version of FBA or MAME.

Generally 3d games are no go, but retro 2d games should not have any slowdowns for most games.
There are some problematic games here and there but overall the most of the romset should play, which games where you trying to play?

You also have the option of RetroArch CE (PS3) can be found in the forums here.
It has a couple MAME cores (emulators) and FBA core (emulator).as well. worth trying your games on there as well since the core's are synced to different romsets. I think mame 2003 is MAME 0.78 and MAME 2000 is 0.35b7

I'd like to play Pacman Jr, Pacman, NBA Hangtime, X-Men Vs Street Fighter, Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter and the Megaman Power Battle games. If I could pllay double dragon or any of the NBA games at normal speed that would be fantastic. I try to run simple arcade games like Pacman and its unbearably slow. I have ran Retro Arch but I can't get any of the games to load on that emulator. I have also installed the MAME but I need assistance on how to get the MAME emulator to recognize roms for loading. I do agree, with you that MAME is a better choice for playing arcade games, final burn is moreso built for home consoles like SNES and Genesis. The way I have finalburn running is so slow is ridiculous. I do know to use MAME a multiman is necessary to use, in order to install the roms into the proper directory onto the PS3 hardrive, not the usb, otherwise MAME will not recognize in roms that are on usb, but I installed multiman mm and I do not understand it, I don't see any directories to copy and paste my games into correct folders. Maybe I downloaded the wrong Multiman This is complicated, more than it should be. Thanks for the help.
