Haha, looks like everyone is defending their favorite emulator with teeth and claws.

NRX bah!

NRX - Tremendous piece of crap -- closed source, old, and hacked to crap.

Kawaks - full of nasty emulation hacks and is closed source.

Nebula - a lot better, but still closed source

MAME - sloooowwwwwwwww, but open source and easy to compile + dev

FBA - Faaaaassssttt (faster than kawaks, lighter weight, supports more systems, emulates games better), is open source

Why is Mame slow ? nearly all games run at full speed here Just a few CHD's run slow

Compared to the other Emulators, yes. It uses more resource than a lot of other emulators.

There is no other emu that plays that many game as mame does .

If you have a slow PC then yes Mame will be slow . Other emu's use hacks just to get the game running at full speed .

To me true emulation is getting the game close to original as possible .

Mame emulates the hardware as well the game which does explain why it may use more resources .
