Why doesnt MAME feel REALLY real?
Malenko:
I cant really explain it, but I was playing Marvel VS Capcom (genuine CPS2 hardware)on my KI1 cabinet to make sure it worked when I recieved the package. Then I was playing Marvel VS Capcom on my KI2 via MAME and it didnt feel the same. I have the same sticks and buttons but different monitors.
Anyone else feel this way or am I just weirder then I though?

Well there's always the possibility that your pc isn't quite fast enough to run the game well.... mame has an emulation bug..... your video card and/or the filter you are using causes an almost inpercievable visual difference or some other random thing.
In general though, mame is identical to the real game. The few exceptions I can think of are vector games and games with an analog based sound system.
That doesn't guarantee that cps2 emulation is perfect enough though... I'm just saying in general.
Fordman:
Its a mind thing!
Kinda like actually having a real car vs a kit car. One is the original model and the other is just an 'emulation' of the original.

The computer is waaaaaay beyond whats needed for CPS2, but I know what you were getting at. The picture looks identical and for all intents and purposes its the same, but it doesnt FEEL the same. Its not just Marvel VS Capcom, its Killer Instinct 1&2, NBA Jam, Open Ice, Kung Fu, BreakThru, Wresletfest, Mortal Kombat 2, UMK3,etc,etc .
I first noticed this "feel" thing with Neo Geo, when I converted my unwanted NeoGeo cab into a MAME for a coworker. I was playing Samurai Shodown II via MAME on the original neogeo sticks,buttons,layouts and it just wasnt the same.I dunno, its like generic cereal or something,lol

Wel then I can assure you it's in your head.
A few of those games on your list still have emulation issues, particularly the mk games and the ki games... but the rest are pretty much dead on.
Now if you'd have complained about some of the sega ride-ons I would agree with you.... they all have timing issues.
