Okay, I've just tested "MAME32 More! 0.84.232" on my P4 1.7Ghz, windows xp sp2
SHOCKING!!!! nothing laggs overall, its loads super fast your roms!!!, it uses about 80% or less of my CPU, where all other emulators HOGS the hell out of my CPU, full blast 100% usage +lagg, midway games laggs abit, but im not to bothered about those games....
You can skip a bunch of errors and stuff that usually annoys people in the settings... that type OK nonsense, and cant flip screen stuff and more and more
and this emulator supports new games because its a (Aug 7 2020) release
You do have to install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages or else the emulator will give you a error upon start "0xc0150002"
No stretching issues thats a deal breaker
WOOOW
UPDATE: On all games like the entire metal slug collection for example that never lagged previously but lagg now insanely on all mame emulators today thats running on old systems like I am, well that doesnt lagg on MAME32 More! 0.84.232 and the games that always lagged on old systems due to high res and full on 3D graphics, ofcourse still laggs... the amount of lagging games on this emulator in general is very small, so someone messedup big time in the mame source beyond a certain version, I strongly believe....
UPDATE: Ive also found a "Mame32k 0.67.232" kinda the same thing but just as legit!!! ...this version seems to have an issue with auto volume adjust or something....I reverted back to Mame32k 0.67.229
