Other emulators in cabinet
popsicle:
There are a lot of unique console games that work extremely well on a 2-player upright. Not all console games are 1-player lengthy password-save text-ridden rpgs. Frequented 2 player simultaneous games at my house for the last decade with the kids are...
Twisted Metal 2 (psx). If you have 6 buttons this is very playable, and fun in co-op mode.
The Unholy War (psx). Kind of an updated Archon.
Streets of Rage 2, Toe Jam n Earl, Zombies Ate my Neighbors (Genesis)
Gunfight, Freeway, Frogs n Flies, Combat, Fishing Derby (Atari 2600)
Dogdaze Deluxe, Seawolf 2, Archon, Beachhead 2, International Karate, Match wits (Atari 800)
Pro Wrestling (NES)

Yes popsicle. I agree. There were a handful of games on the console that would work for a stand up arcade. For instance Wrestlemania and Ice Hockey on the NES. But for my needs I played more lengthy RPG's and that was why I made the choice to go with another PC for my console emulation.
Rich may need another PC just that reason. It is all essentially going to come down to his needs.
SegaOutrun:
demul (naomi emulator) is a arcade based system with a ton of good game (marvel vs capcom: 2 is the most notable game). Model 2 is mostly racing but it does has some beat em up and fighting. same with Model 3. Taito Type X is a pain to set up but it has some good fighters as well (kof13 and SF4). Follow and use gigapig's tutorial and file from the FTP to make it alot easier to add Taito X. PS2 emulator is good for some fighting games like soul caliber and tekken 5. same with dreamcast. lots of good fighters there.
BadMouth:
There are a bunch of ARCADE machine emulators other than MAME.

It baffles me why some people never stray from MAME.
I set up most of the cartridge based consoles on my old setup, but I hardly ever played them. The new cab is limited to only arcade games and "arcade-ish" Steam PC games like Super Street Fighter IV and Mortal Kombat Komplete.

I think we **all** eventually get to that realization after time. :cheers:
