Jackbtripper Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Is there a good easy to use emulator for classic arcade games? Looking for something to play games like Donkey Kong, Tron, Disc of Tron, etc. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackbtripper Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 How about a safe site to download emulator and roms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Well mamedev.org will get you the emulator. The roms? Google is your friend. And a VM or easily restorable computer is your best buddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omegadot Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 It's worth noting, ROMs tend to work in specific MAME versions. Getting them together is ideal. But realize that there is no 'arcade console' exactly. You are emulating a ton of hardware configurations so it's understandably less simple than zsnes.

Jackbtripper Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 What about collecovision? Is there a good emulator for it? Also, with out the key pad will most games work with the atari joystick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WienerWuerstel Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) MESS is a good emulator for colecovision games. You can use the numpad on your keyboard or map the keypad buttons to the joystick. But that's gonna be a problem if you want to use an atari joystick which only has one button. Unless you mean the jaguar pad Edited February 14, 2015 by WienerWuerstel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd30 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I'd send you a private message with some urls to some good ROM sites, but you might be an undercover FBI agent. You look suspicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
