Poll: Do you run emulators other than MAME for arcade games?

Pages: (1/4) > >>

BadMouth:

I thought this would be an interesting poll.

There are pokey-roms (gotta get 'em all!), there are old schoolers who insist nothing after 1985 is worth emulating, and I'm sure there are plenty in between.
I'm curious how many people on here just stick to MAME and don't use other emulators or stick to an older version of MAME.
This poll is only concerning arcade emulators, not console emulators.

I'll bite. I run other emulators a little as possible because I hate most of them. Mame really has a good system down that works for a ton of games and has very few problems (as an emulator not on a per game basis). Things work consistently with it in my experience. All other arcade emulators seem to have so many problems. Demul has to be the worst of them. I wouldn't put that thing anywhere near my main mame cab due to the number of crashes and workarounds using scripts just to get the games to run.

I did just buy a candy cab new astro city last night that I don't really have plans for yet so I think once I get bored of the game it came with then I'll probably use it as my "just for me" arcade where I put a bunch of newer game releases and other emulators. Then when there are a million problems I don't have to deal with other people coming up to me and saying they don't know what happened it just crashed, or its coming up with some weird error message.

So for that reason, just mame and hyperspin. I do stay fairly up to date with mame but not every release. Every few I'd say or if I see something I like.

MAME, Supermodel, Daphne, DICE, and Daphne Singe.

I've got to chime in on this one as well.  Great poll BTW Badmouth.  Supermodel has been a lot of fun for me also.  The official ver 0.2 still has some bugs but the newest SVN is pretty dang good.  I love me a good fighting game so in Fighting Vipers 2 when you can knock your opponent completely through the cage wall to finish.........ohhh that gets me every time... :o  This game has some really nice graphics too
