MAME - Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator
This has been around for ages, and I've been using it for years - and its absolutely ace.

However now I've got myself a smart new Media PC which is hooked up to my LCD telly and using a gamepad its even more glorious!

I can recommend several games you all must try:

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs
Double Dragon
Alien vs Predator
Marvel vs Capcom
The Punisher

However there are about a 1000 games to play on - and I've been playing these ones for a long time now - anyone got any recommendations from the arcade?

You can't beat infinite free continues either!

Re: MAME - Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator
Track and Field!!! of course!

I've been doing this on the 360 - its ace - that ones going on the list.

I think I'll look at the shooters as well - my collection is pretty much all Scrolling beat em ups!

TLW Arcade is all I need for a balanced diet and a great sex life.

Hehe, I dunno about that!

But then I haven't actually seen it (yet)

Surely you'll want to have a crack at Star Wars Arcade!

No way hombre. MAME is the Dita Von Teese of the arcade world. Firing up any of the games in MAME and seeing the old school arcade screen and sounds is pure sex. The TLW arcade is a pale imitation.

[size]Im sure I'll get a negging from Usher for that post.[/size]

Aye, I should really get into this more. I had BeebEm and played Elite quite a lot, but had to leave my computer on constantly because I didn't know how to save it otherwise.

Star Wars Arcade was ace in the old cabinet. I liked Robocop as well, and most of the games on Wiiksie's list.

Re: MAME - Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator
Oohh Robocop - another great call

Seriously mate - MAME is awesome (if you like Arcade games of course, and who doesn't!!!). very easy to setup too.

I had point Blank running last night - not quite the same with the mouse, but pretty fun non the less.

Anymore recommendations?

Re: MAME - Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator
Been using MAME since the good old DOS days. It rocketh mightily. Where else can I get my Scramble fix?


Got MAME for the xbox here too, not got around to setting it up yet. I imagine that'll rock even harder if possible...

Re: MAME - Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator
On a side note, I have also successfully emulated Marvel vs Capcom 2 on the Dreamcast which is brilliant, trying to source Power Stone (Powerstone > Smash Bros) and I'll be very happy.

My new powerful PC has really reopened the door for retro gaming - N64 emulation is also signicantly better though on playing goldeneye I was really struggling to get my brain around a 1 analogue stick control method, now habing being so used to the dual stick controls - some more tweaking required there me thinks

I had that (and finalBurn Alpha) on my original Xbox - was top stuff

Re: MAME - Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator
Discovered Mame a few months back and have hardly used my PC for anything else since.

If anyone hasna tried it yet I recommend the MAMEUIFX32 (google it) - much more user friendly than the standard version. You can get the roms off any torrent site.

My personal favourites so far include most of the ones mentioned by wilksie plus -

Commando
ESP Ra.De (Quality shoot em up)
Indiana Jones
Metal Slug (all of em)
Space Harrier
Super Sidekicks 3
Sunset Riders
And anything with NeoGeo's name on it.

If you mean the early 1980s version I have yes - though not recently played it since I upgraded to the latest MAME version.

If you mean the laser disc style one - I very much doubt it but I will now be taking a look just in case!

EDIT: Kowalski - I haven't heard of this one - Indiana Jones - any good?

Re: MAME - Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator
I must of been thinking of Star Wars Trilogy - which is probably too recent to be working.

I've got the original Star Wars n Empire games running and they are class.

Can you get Operation Wolf and Kick Start 2.

If so, I am downloading this.
