Performances
Year 1980-1986 games should run smoothly from 10 to 20 fps in fullscreen mode.
Vectored games runs smoothly too.
Remembering that Nokia 5800 is an ARM 400 Mhz based hardware,
the performances of the games with many simulated processors (eg pacmaina) will
not acheive a 100% speed even with 3/5 fps.
You can activate the mame profiler and see the simulation timings.
