While MAME's older MIPS core does have a JIT, it also has a handful of edge-case bugs that don't seem to affect arcade games, but which do affect workstations, so I had to punt on it and use P-Mack's newer, more accurate core, at the cost of speed.

That said, he's gradually working towards getting the CPU emulation to be more performant. FWIW, running MAME with -aviwrite -snapsize 1280x1024 would have made it run slower (due to scribbling out a 1280x1024 uncompressed AVI), but the video would play back at full speed. :)

While it was slow, it was certainly usable! So glad it existed, b/c I don't think I would have been able to experience B1.0 without it. Neat AVI recording trick!

Cheers, I just wish I knew what was going on with the "blenderbuttons" thing. Did you ever get it sorted out, or did it end up being a dead-end? The allocator warnings are also alarming, but I could envision a direct exit potentially causing issues.

WHOA! I just noticed Part 2, seems like you did! BRB, watching.

Oh yea, I got it working and did a lot with it. I think there's like 5 parts haha. Enjoy

Jumping around a bit - when you moved the ImageView window around 24:55 in the second part, I'm reasonably sure you might have uncovered a MAME bug. I'll see if I can repro it in isolation. I'm 100% sure there are edge cases in the XL8/XL24 board that aren't yet handled.

Could be. I also suspect that blenders rendering code is probably non standard and maybe handled repaint / region invalidation weirdly.
