I have complete sets for systems I have never even installed an emulator for. :lol I keep my main arcade gamelist limited to 200. The rest of them are there. They just aren't in that list and can be added in a few seconds. |

The novelty of playing a gameboy game on a big screen wears off in about 20 seconds. --- End quote --- To each his own, but there are a few Atari games that hold up for me now. I'll still play Tutankham, Keystone Kapers, and Sky Jinks, and Combat is still fun for two players. For the Gameboy there are some great GBA games that hold up as well as any SNES game. The Metroid and Castlevania games in particular are great. Not sure I'd play them with a stick, but with a gamepad they're great. I do agree that a big screen with really low res graphics can be kind of weird. I played the original B&W GameBoy Super Mario on my 60" TV a long time back and the resolution was so low it was hard to visualize the graphics for all the giant pixels. |

I've had an epiphany since I started this thread. I only want two things on this machine. Things that work and things that will be used. Here is my current configuration: Mame - set to load favorites on emulator start. Favorites consists of about 360 games that work with 8-way and 6 buttons. Sega Naomi - 10 games that work perfectly on Makaron - couldn't figure out the nulldc control configuration. Daphne - The following all need to have the favorite game lists set and set to start in favorites Sega Master System - undecided Sega Genesis - clearly a kids' favorite emulator NES, SNES and N64 - undecided on whether to keep. All working good. No favorites picked. SegaCD, Sega32x, Sega Dreamcast - need a favorites list TurboGrafx - Nostalgic games, but I should probably dump. I skipped the Ataris because even though I had a couple of those system, I thought they sucked back then so why would I waste my time on them now? I decided I didn't need any handhelds and there were more than enough fighting games so I didn't need Mugen or Atomiswave. This is my favorites.txt list for MAME for anyone who might have a similar setup: 10yard 1945kiii 19xx 2020bb 20pacgalr0 25pacman 3countb 3stooges 4dwarrio 64street 88games 9ballsht aafb abcop aburner2 actfancr aerofgt afighter airbustr airwolf ajax aladmdb alcon alexkidd1 aliens aliensec alpham2 altbeast amidaru androdun anteateruk aodk aof aof2 aof3 arabianm archrivl armwar aso astdelux asterix asteroid atetrisa avengrgs avsp avspirit baddudes bagmans2 batman batmanfr bcstrya beastrzr beezer1 berzerk1 bestri bjourney blazstar blueprntj boblbobl bosco bottom9 breakers bstars bstars2 btime btimem bub68705 bubbles bublbob2 bublboblr1 bucky burningf bwidow bzone captaven cclimber cclimbr2 centiped cfarm champbb2 changesa chopper circuscc cninjau cobracom contra crsword crush ctomaday cyberlip defender digdug digdug2 dino dkong dkong3 dkongjr dkongo docastle docastle2 dogfgt dorunrun2 dowild elevator elim2 excitebk fantjoura finalb flipshot fredmemus frenzy frogger froggers2 frogs galaga galaga88 galaxian garou gaunt2 gaunt22p ghouls goldnaxe gorf gorkans gowcaizr gravitar2 gslgr94u gtmr guzzler gyruss hstennis indytemp4 invaders joemacr journey joust2 joustr jrpacman junofrstg kangarooa kchamp kf2k3pcb kinstb klax3 kof2000 kof2001 kof2002 kof2003 kof94 kof95 kof96 kof97 kof98 kof99 ladybug levers liquidku llander lnc majtitl2 majtitle maniach mappy mario martmast matrim megaman megaman2 mhavoc milliped missile mkla1 mmatrix mp_gaxe2 mp_soni2 mp_sonic mpatrol mrdo mrflea mshu mshvsf mslug mslug2 mslug3 mslug4 mslug5 mspacman mspacmnf mtlchamp mtrap mvp mvscud mwalku mx5000 mysticri narc naughtyb nbajam nbajamte ncv1 ncv2 neocup98 neomrdo nrallyx nss_smw openice overtop pacland pacman pacmanf pacmania pacmod pacnpal pacplus paperboy pbaction pbobblen pc_rrngr pengo4 phoenix pigouta pleiadce pooyan popbounc popeye prehisle preisle2 progear pspikes2 psyforce punchout qberta qbertqub qix quarterb rallyxa rampage rbtapper redbaron ribbit ridhero rimrockn ringdest rmpgwt rmpgwt roadf roadrunn roboarmy robocop robocop2 robotron rocnrope rodland rollerg rungun ryga salamand salmndr2a savagere sbasketb scobra scramble sdodgeb sf2ceuc sf2ui sfa3ud sfexu sfiii sfiii2n sftm sfua sfz2alb sfz3ar1 sfzhr1 simpsons2p sinistar slammast smashtv snowbro2 snowbros3 snowbrosc socbrawl solomonj sonic sonicwi2 sonicwi3 spacedx spacedx spcinv95 spdodgeb spiders spidman spidmanu spinmast spnchout springer ssf2tbd ssf2tur1 ssi ssideki stakwin stakwin2 starcas stargate strhoop superman superpacm suprlocoa suprridr svcpcb svolley swimmer szaxxon tappera tempest tetris tetrisp2 tetrisse tetrista thunderj timber timeplt titlefu tmntu toobin tophuntr tpgolf trackfld trally travrusa trog tubep turfmast tutankhms twinspri umk3 upndown vanguardc vanvanb vendetta2p venture venture2 victroad viewpoin vspinbal wacko wb3 wbml wboy wboy3 wg3dh wow wschampa xenophob xeviousb xmcotau xmen2pa xmvsfu1d xybots yellowcbb zaxxon zekto zerowing2 zookeep zupapa zzyzzyxx2 |

I had about the same setup as you did... I had a HARD time trying to set up certain emulators (dreamcast comes to mind) and in the end i dint really even use it hardly... My friends that are interested in building one...I tell them to just do MAME... In the end, If i could list how much often i use my cab.... 1.Jukebox (a must when I'm working in my garage or people come to hang out in my garage) 2. MAME 3. Daphne (and thats just Dragon's Lair) 4. Atari 2600 (couple of games (Adventure, Haunted House, Berserk) and also to prove to people that Atari had porn games) 5. NES (excitebike, zanac, mario couple others) The rest, I might have played 1 or 2 games that i cant remember... If i ever get around to making a new cab... I think i will strickly make it a MAME/Jukebox cab ( with just the classics and must-haves of MAME) |
