Galaxian and Crazy Kong run full speed with sound on my Overclocked 168Mhz EM-500. Besides that - no luck. Original MAME is just not built with speed in mind.

I have no idea how to fix that, but here's what you can do: Go to control pannel and remap record button to '<'Start menu'>' It will be more useful for you anyway and after you do that everything will work as charm!

Yes, that's because of old (0.35) source used for MAMEBoy. Tell me which ROMs you need and leave e-mail here.
