Ok I had this problem too. Over the x-mas break I tried every option like QEMM and all the other memory options, I've got a PIII 500 with 128M Ram. The one I found to work 100% was to run Win98 compact install. Then in the msdos.sys change the BootGUI=1 to 0 to go straight into DOS without booting WindowsOS.
Since then games like Kof98 play 60ftp's straight away before they were running at 35 to 40 plus it loads faster. I even installed the ATI 98 driver for the ATI 128 Chipset I have and now I have even more res display options.

: I am running dos 6.22 and arcadeos on my arcade pc.
: I load himem.sys but not emm386 because emm386 seems to slow down mame considerably. My framerate drops in half.
: However, I do need more conventional memory and am loading quite a few device drivers. I need to load those drivers into high memory. I tried using 386max and the latest patch for it and mame seems to crash alot. Is the older dos version of QEMM any better? What is the best to use?
