MAME Multithreading does it make a difference? it's now set like this on my setup


multithreading            0
numprocessors            auto
bench                           0

 

i always wondered iif it makes a difference and if MAME would take advantage of multicores. can someone chime in on this subject

Maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I thought mamedev removed multithreading a while ago due to the bugs and wonky stuff that would happen with games when it was used. Not to mention it made little to no difference.

 

But I do think certain drivers of CPU intensive titles do take  advantage of multiple cores in newer builds but not all.

Yea. RB recently stated that if you want the best performance out of recent MAME builds as they are more demanding now and want to be able to run everything that is actually playable, the i7 6700k is what he recommended.

Last time I tried, MAME was highly unstable when using multithreading. I guess I should give it another try...
