In my experience, 'bout the only thing that'll boost performance in MAME is a processor upgrade.
Yeah, I have heard that too. But I am running an Atom 330 (1.6 ghz) Dual core cpu and an Nvidia ION gpu, so it should be able to breeze through an old game - right?
sorry for responding so late, but you'd be shocked at how much MAME can push your system sometimes.

The Outfoxies.

It came out in like '94, but it's very similar to Super Smash Bros... only you're different assassins trying to *ahem* outfox each other. The levels are huge and change over time (like a bomb goes off and a parked helicopter crashes through the roof, then the place starts flooding)

There are weapons to pick up and use on each other. The game is really REALLY good. I downloaded it on MAME a couple years ago, and I have friends who come over asking to play it. I can't recommend it highly enough. Nobody's heard of it, though.

It would be amazing as a XBLA/PSN rerelease.

I found a couple of links to try and show you what it's about:

Battlantis can be played on the Xbox 360 (and I think Windows phones) through the Game Room.
