Thumbs way up from me for Turbo Grafx 16. If you are a SHMUPer it's a must have. Bad Mouth is right about the space though, I mean maybe you have TB's of space and it doesn't matter. But PSX and PC Engine CD Rom's take up a ton of space on my hard disk. Also I just finished making Ootake play nice with Mala and its not just as simple as pointing your front end to the games and executable. If memory serves while EPSXE and Fusion may easily support playing .BIN or .ISO files but with some disc based console emulators like Ootake you'll need to mount images with a program such as Daemon tools. It can be a bit frustrating for mere mortals such as myself. |

My thoughts. Atari doesn't actually have ALL THAT MUCH to offer once you take the arcade ports out of the mix. Nes, yes very popular. SNES suffers on most control panels on games that used all 6 buttons, because the shoulder buttons often had a directional function that just doesn't map well onto a flat surface button bank. Genesis doesn't really suffer from the SNES problem since it didn't have shoulder buttons. Neo Geo. No reason to include a Neo Geo console emulator when you already have the Neo Geo games in mame, they are the same thing. Neo Geo Hyper 64. You aren't missing anything here and this is in mame anyway, Neo Geo CD. There isn't really anything unique to this system that isn't already an arcade Neo Geo title. Your maybe categories all basically suffer from controls that translate poorly to a panel or just not having much worthwhile on the system that wasn't on other systems. |

Hmm.. I hadn't really gotten that deep into the game collections to really compare the various Neo Geo's with MAME's offerings, but I'm not surprised to hear you say that. Obviously yes - take a genuine arcade version over a console version essentially every time. SNES, yes, it had shoulder buttons, but so so many of the games I'm actually interested in for it that won't be a gigantic consideration for me. Back when SNES emulation was new, I actually mapped my keyboard to the same pattern most panels have and it wasn't that bad to get used to (or they weren't even used) for most games. Still.. especially for some of the sega systems, you have a very good point. It sounds like I'm either going to have to severely limit my game selection, not include those consoles at all, or as averse as I am to the idea, include a few USB ports to plug controllers in. |

you lost me after mame! ;D Joking aside, consoles require the original controller. Also you lose the whole 'feel' of the game cause you never played these games on an arcade machine. For me, the feel of the controller, holding the cart in your hand, even the artwork brings back memories. It would not be the same on an arcade system. With that being said, it's your machine, put what you like on it. ;D |

I have always just had MAME on there. The console games were made for the handheld controllers. Now that I am using an LCD TV for my setup, I have added in a few NES/SNES games to sit back and play with a controller. I bought the USB versions of both of those controllers, but I think I will end up using an xbox 360 controller since it is wireless. |
