One thing I'd recommend (looks like Samuel recommended this too) is try just compiling/running the SVGALIB or X11 targets, opengl gives a good framerate increase for the right hardware, but really I don't know enough to think it's going to help you in your quest. > Is there anyway I can improve performance? One thing I can highly recommend is not just installing Linux, but recompiling your kernel. The generic kernels that come with distributions are usually not optimised to the point that your machine will benefit from them. Compile your kernel with optimisations specific to your system. Speaking of optimisations, try some of the ones in the makefile for xmame. I usually do the "full intel opts" one, changing -O3 to -O2 and get plenty of speed. Also, don't just add a modeline for 320x200, add one for any mode that any game you plan on playing is going to use. if a game uses 320x240, or 352x288, you're screwed, x[mame] will revert to the next res up, usually 640x480.
