MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator)

[+Random Terrain]

bjk7382, I think you just got kicked in the nuts (by way of the Internet). But look, you're on TV! The hidden camera is over there. No, not there, there.

Yes but be careful because arcade games are very heavy and unless balanced just right they could easily damage computer equipment.

I find it amazing that some people still don't know about emulation

 

I still remember when I discovered MAME. talk about nostalgic arcade game heaven. I was simply blown away. It was like a huge chunk of my childhood...back to life!

 

Got even better when I built my MAME cabinet

I found MAME back in 1997 while surfing for 2600 emulation of all things.

Aside from MAME, there's also RAINE, Zinc, Modeller and dozens of other emulators.

 

http://www.retrogames.com is a good starting point for getting into arcade emulation.

 

Finding ROM images is another issue. There are plenty of sites around but many don't have up to date ROMs which work with later MAME builds.

 

I recently aquired the full MAME set, with ROMs, cabinets, flyers etc. it comes it at around 40 gig of disk space.

Anyone know where I can get a Taito mount bracket?
