This sentence makes zero sense if you sit to think about it. 'Infinite Quarters' are there whether you have save states or not Completing metal slugs, alien vs predator, final fight, street fighter, strider, rampage, ghould n ghosts, heck LOADS of games take ALOT longer than 5 minutes. If you played ghould n ghosts for 5 minutes at a time, you would forever be playing the first level. What is the point in that?

Yes, it is inconclusive, save states ARE needed. However i have some unfortunate news, MAME4ALL will NEVER have save states, since it is based on a version of MAME that doesnt have them either. Our only hope is to see what magic Tiger King can produce.

First, obviously, you need to have the roms for the game you're trying to run. Do not ask me where you can find them. Romsets have to be zipped. The zip has to have the correct name (have a look at the load box, it shows the zip name next to the game title) Make sure your zips are in a place where Kawaks knows they are. Set up your rom paths with the item in the Files menu If you're trying to play NeoGeo games, you need NEOGEO.ZIP, with NG-LO.ROM, NEO-GEO.ROM and NG-SFIX.ROM You have to make sure your roms match the ones used by Kawaks -Try and make an Audit (tools menu) to know what's wrong -Clean up your romsets with RomCenter (or ClrMAMEPro (The dat files these programs need can be generated by Kawaks (tools menu) Name errors don't matter much, but the CRC errors do matter. If you're using old neorage roms (names like N2105465.078) you may need to convert them with Redump (it's available on my homepage).

If a game is not in Kawaks, there are good reasons. Namely: CPS2 games that are not supported are not in there because ROMs are encrypted, and the extra data for decryption is unavailable. NeoGeo games that are not supported are not in there either because: - Their encryption is not figured out yet - They're a lot too recent to be included in an emulator. They still bring profit to their manufacturers. Lastly, you're just thinking about a game that runs on a totally different hardware than what Kawaks emulates. That includes: * Marvel Versus Capcom 2 * Capcom Versus SNK * Capcom Versus SNK 2 * Street Fighter EX 1 / 2 / 1+ / 2+ / 3. First, you should try to modify the UseVRAM in the INI.

If it's 0, set it to 1, and if it's 1, set it to 0. It can have a HUGE effect. Now, if it's still too slow, try using a faster blitter. Alternate scanlines is a lot faster than regular scanlines, and a LOT faster than 50% scanlines.

Normal blitter may be a little faster than Alternate scanlines depending on the PC/gfx card. Don't enable Interframe blending, it slows things down a great deal. Then, make sure you set DisableJoystick to 1 in the INI if you don't use a joystick/pad, but you have one. Then, set a lower sound frequency. Search for SoundFrequency in the INI and set it to 22050 or even 11025. Then, you may want to disable effects like BgHi for CPS1 or Masking for CPS2. The gfx issues they fix may not be worth the slowdown for you.
