I'm trying to determine what other emulators work well(other than MAME) and are worthwhile for within an arcade cabinet - I guess most might be okay minus the consoles ones such as N64 per se were gameplay is best played with a game pad controller. |
| EMDB:
Atari 2600/5200/7600, NES, SNES, Sega Genesis (Megadrive), Colecovision, etc work fine because of the quite similar button layout. |

You can put the console games on there Rich but might find that some of the gameplay is too long to be standing at an arcade. Like say Zelda for NES. Ive gotten to the point where I dont play my console games and I am now in the process of creating an emulation PC that I can hook up to my tv to play. |
| Richardgregory:
I think I will avoid console emulators for the reason noted. I will build a small PC for the living room and hook it up to a big screen. Better stick with the older game systems were there are simple controls such as ones listed in this thread. |
| keilmillerjr:
Yep. I agree, and would do as suggested by jd. Leave arcade for arcade. A raspberry pi is dirt cheap to hook up to the TV for console emulation, and you can play those long games from the comfort of your couch as they were meant to be played. |
