MAME Benchmarks

Open ToddLa opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

MAME4iOS should have a menu item to run all installed ROMs in benchmark mode and log the results to a CSV file.

The menu should be hidden, enabled with a settings toggle or a special build flag?

To get benchmark results, all you gotta do is run MAME with a -bench flag. And capture output.

mame pacman -video none -bench 90
Average speed: 753.70% (90 seconds)

We should run benchmarks with no video because our Metal renderer always is synced to display, and we would top out at 60hz (or 120hz)

CSV file should be named with the build of MAME (2xx or 139) or contain that data in a column.

See the results here http://www.mameui.info/Bench.htm
