Advancemame performance

I have been playing with AdvanceMame with a 1280 x 1024 LCD panel.

If I set integer scaling and hq setting, the visual quality is unbelievably
amazing!

The problem is

1.  I can't get it to scale to fullscreen this way

2.  The performance is lacking - I am on a 2.0 Ghz Windows XP Pentium
machine and even on Ms. Pacman I don't get 100% frame rate.

3.  Audio is garbled from time to time - my audio solution is an outboard
USB connected audio device - a Creative Extigy.

Is Advance Mame ever going to add hardware scaling that would happen perhaps
AFTER the hq bitblitting so that I could see the game fullscreen?

And how much horsepower do I need in order to make this setup work with hq?
i.e. will a 3.4 ghz Pentium do it or will there always be performance
issues?


This is an amazing program because of the visual quality - I never knew
something like this could work and it really does work - seeing the fruit in
pacman, completely and accurately reshaped, knocked me out...
