| By which i mean I wanna play games like Strider, The revenge of shinobi, and The new zealand Story in ther original arcade format. I know some of these are on comps. |

Lord_Sithis said: In the original format? RIP. Be prepared to pay thousands of dollars for your cab and PCBs. Of course, you can always use an emulator. MAME is the best one, very easy to use and has support for a shitton of arcade games. Well i didnt mean original f I rmat with the arcade machines lol. Just want to play exact emulations so i guess ill check out MAME. |

Lord_Sithis said: Waifu_Strangler said: Yes, MAME is pretty good. If you're going to play shmups or fighting games, Shmupmame would be better, since it has no input lag.Well i didnt mean original f I rmat with the arcade machines lol. Just want to play exact emulations so i guess ill check out MAME. Might just get both. |

Lord_Sithis said: Probably the ROM names. Newer versions of MAME use different names for some ROMs than the old versions. Just check for the game you want in MAME and you should see the name of the ROM. If your ROM doesn't have that name, just rename it. For example, in newer versions of MAME the name for DoDonPachi DaiOuJou Black Label is "ddp3blk", but in older version it's "ddpdojblk". That must have been it; was probably using older incompatible rom sets as well.. Been reading some FAQs and there was a lot I missed the first time. It's more complicated than most emulators, as some games require more than just the rom, but once you understand a few basics, it's relatively straightforward. |

| By getting a time machine and travelling back to the 1980s. |
| There was a really good emulator and collection disc with 3000 C64 games on it, I had one too until I lost it during a house renovation.Anway, I think it was called 'C64 Classics' or something along those lines, if you look for that on eBay I'm sure you'll find it and it's probably cheap as chips as well. |

Lord_Sithis said: Btw MAME emulation is not perfect. Some newer games (like 2002+) have emulation issues. They work, but with problems that range between graphical glitches to serious gameplay alterations. Very recent games have not been dumped yet. No interest in the newer games. Mostly just old platformers. |

| Not as technical as you guys, but I play all my games I loved from the late 1970's and early 1980's on my Nintendo DSXL. I use the DSTWO card with a 16Gb rom, and that emulates just about anything. I don't bother running the old games on my laptop, or my entertainment computer, as I just don't have time. I was thinking of sending one of my game consoles in to get altered so it can play those games, I have a PS1, PS2, and PS 3, and an old WII, surely one of them can be set up to play all the old games without having to do an Irish jig first. But enough hijacking your thread. Enough to say i love the old games, but i keep them all on the Nintendo DSXL via DSTWO emulation. That's enough to keep me happy, and to ensure the DS doesn't get wasted, as that is a shame in itself to allow such beautiful electronics go to waste; being from the 70's we didn't get things like that, they still amaze me today how good a DS is. |
| idk about you but the closer a girl gets to looking like ronald mcdonald, the more aroused i become. CAV where can we cast our eyes to @PoruMairu who thinks of himself a member of the true church. Helion. |
