Too many emulators in cab?

[Fursphere]

There is a Nintendo Playchoice 10 cabinet crying somewhere right now.

 

[monkeybomb]

For the guys going with MAME only, don't you get asked about Dragon's Lair?  Every time I have more than a couple of people, someone asks for it.

Yeah, I think everyone makes an exception for Dragons Lair and Space Ace since those were real arcade games and will play on different emulators.

Don't forget the second part after they ask about Dragons Lair. The part where you wait for the game to load for 30 seconds and it's nowhere near as good as they remember.

I loved space ace as a kid, and it's still semi-enjoyable for me as an adult, but the "Gameplay" is weak. Truth is, the reason anyone wants to play is they think Kimmy and Daphne are hot.

[dekar24k]

I did the exact same thing with the last cab I built. Pure MAME. After all, an arcade cabinet is for arcade games. If I want to play SNES, NES, Genesis etc. I'll play on my PC, or my Galaxy S6, or my Nvidia Shield TV box, or my Surface Pro 4.. With a gamepad.. Lol .. You get the point.

[keilmillerjr]

I had the nes advantage when I was young. Thought the quality was crap. Traded it in at gamester for like ten cents or something.

I don't understand the want for console games on a cabinet.

Hey, I liked (and still do like) my NES Advantage. I loved playing (certain) games with that thing. 

But I get what you're saying and agree with you. A lot of console games are just better with the controllers. It's much harder to kick back and relax with an arcade stick in your lap...

I like the idea of the nes advantage, I just didn't like the quality of the nes advantage. I took mine apart, cleaned the buttons and stick, and was like - these still suck..

[Cynicaster]

The thing is.... we build arcade cabinets to recreate our gaming memories. If we didn't care about recreating our previous experiences, we'd play with those Jakk controllers directly plugged into the TV.

An arcade game which lasts 15 minutes tops is a different experience than a final fantasy game which requires 100 hours.

You shouldn’t be so quick to assume that everybody has the same motivations.

When it comes to arcade games, my cabinet is almost 100% used to play games I never got a chance to play when they were current because I was too young.  So, if I’m playing games that I never played in their heyday, on a homemade cabinet that looks different from the original cabinets, with controls that are different in layout, construction, and feel from the original cabinets, what exactly am I “recreating”? 

What do KLOV types have to say about the "memory re-living" potential of a PC stuffed into a big homemade box that is decorated with arcade-like stuff?  Many of them sneer at the suggestion.  Does that mean we shouldn’t build MAME cabinets?  Of course not. 

The point is, the past does not dictate anything about how, when, or why to use emulation to enjoy old games—unless, of course, you want it to.         

Lots of noobs come to this forum and read threads like this to gather information before starting their own project.  It is valuable input for one to state that console emulation was attempted but not enjoyed on their cabinet, so long as it’s presented as a personal experience and not some kind of universal truth.  Coming up with completely imaginary rules and problems like “game list clutter” and “the controls never map right” and “you can’t stand in front of a cabinet for 100 hours to play an RPG” and “this was not meant to be played with that” is not constructive or useful to anybody coming here to seek information.

[haynor666]

Besides MAME I still have Taito Type X games (those are arcade ones), NES (Nestopia) emulator (I have original console but I prefer nice and clean RGB picture) and handhelds.

You shouldn't assume that I assume? Hell, I don't even know what you are talking about.

I don't think I need to preface everything with IMO, because everyone knows it's an opinion. I can tell you this: from the last decade I have been here, what I just described is a sentiment shared by most. Most folks keep arcade games on their cabinet and consoles on the couch.

Maybe my problem is I assume that anyone who reads a post on a public internet forum is smart enough to decipher that when someone posts something, it's supposed to be an opinion and not a fact.

That last sentence was uncalled for, and neither was it honest. When you talk about an unqualified "we" this and an unqualified "we" that, you don't have much standing to claim the guy responding to you lacks comprehension for saying you're presenting your experience as a universal truth. This fact-vs-opinion framing is just a distraction from Cynicaster's point.

Cynicaster's final paragraph hit the nail on the head.  There's a degree of elitism and arrogance here that is off-putting and confusing to noobs. Unfortunately, the sensible, universally-accepted advice (e.g., orientation of sticks on a 4-player cab) doesn't look much different to a noob from the more subjective but just as authoritatively-presented "console games don't belong on a cab."   

To the OP, if I found myself limiting the number of emulators I use because my front-end handles multiple emulators too clunkily, I would switch front-ends before limiting my game selection so drastically (or at all, really). None of the objections I've seen to console games on a cab matter to me. I'm only interested in more action-oriented console games of the 8-bit and 16-bit era. So memorizing or documenting the controls for these games is hardly ever more difficult than doing the same for arcade games (this has always been a nonsensical objection to me - like consoles never produced arcade-style games).  I don't get too tired playing these games at my cab (my attention span wavers before my body does), and I prefer the immediacy/intimacy of experience the cabinet provides. As for menu navigation, I have about 280 games divided into about 8 genres (game lists). This is quite manageable.

Any establishment can seem daunting. Go to KLOV and you'll see how friendly it is here.

"Graduating" from using consoles on an arcade cabinet to just using mame, or paring down the game list to relevant games is the kind of progression many of us have not only lived through, but have seen time and time again. When I see someone posting questions like "Do I want to put every version of Galaga on my system?" to "Should I run 30,000 games that include all the emulators?" I suppose I should keep not only my experiences, but many other members to myself? Maybe you thought I was presenting it as fact, or maybe you didn't like what I said, but take it or leave it, it's the same decision many of us have made.

[leapinlew]

If this hasn't been made perfectly clear - do whatever you want. I don't want to rain on your parade. Just trying to share some experiences.

[CheffoJeffo]

Let's see ... guys getting all pissy about the attitude/elitism/fact/opinion are the same guys who tell you what is "obvious", typecast an entire group and that the problem is non-existent anyway. Pot. Kettle. Black. Same piss that's always been.

FWIW, most of the people who stick around in the hobby (and stay active on the boards) seem to make the progression. Hell, I started at "one machine to rule them all".

There may be many (perhaps even more) people who are happy not making the progression and running any/everything on a single machine. They aren't the ones who stick around. Maybe they are too busy playing all of those games to talk about it. Maybe they aren't interested enough to tell you about it.

Enough with the butthurt outrage over perceived elitism.

Maybe my problem is I assume that anyone who reads a post on a public internet forum is smart enough to decipher that when someone posts something, it's supposed to be an opinion and not a fact.

Lew, everything I post is fact. saint accepts it. So should you.

[Malenko]

Saint said it best, "Cheffo's right"


I think we all started with the "one cab to rule them all" or some variation of it, mine was "1 cab to play all the fighting games!" and now Im working on a vertical bartop made almost exclusively for vertical shooters, a genre I used to hate!

Building and setting up a MAME cab, especially the first time around, is a huge time sink (and usually a money pit as well). Many try to justify that by making the cab play every game under the sun. In time, most people adjust their goals. For some its redoing the control panel and removing the tron stick, flight stick, and trackball. For others its removing the *insert system you never actually play on your cab here* games from their game lists.

My entire process has flipped around. I used to start off with everything and slowly whittle it down to what I wanted. Now I start with almost nothing and add what I want. In the end, the finish line is the same but the journey is more fun for me now.

[ArrogANT]

I recently started my first build and I did start off with the idea of having everything on it, but after a few days of sifting through 1000's of games on systems that I didn't think suited for a stand-up cabinet, I decide to drop a lot of them.

However, I do think older consoles, such as NES, SNES, Master System and Genesis, can be played on a stand-up cabinet. As these sold peripherals back in the day, like the Nintendo Advantage and Sega Arcade Power Stick. Which is essentially an arcade control panel.

I believe it really comes down to if you like and play it, then have it.

[sealcouch]

On my latest cab I went in with a nothing but Mame mindset. Then I played Uniracers on it. That game is absolute gold with arcade controls. Changed my mindset entirely.

Ha! Uniracers!  I thought I was the only person who spoke of that forgotten racer. (Forgotten because Pixar sued them; game taken off the market after initial run.)   But yeah, it's actually pretty tight with arcade controls.

[DrakeTungsten]

Looks like we caught a poster or two up-thread at a time when they're having great difficulty thinking clearly. I hope they get things sorted out.

The one practical difference I've run into between console games and arcade games is that starting an arcade game is always intuitive (not from the front-end, but from the game's attract mode), while it's not always obvious for console games. Many are easy enough, but some of them require an arcane sequence consisting of a mix of the "start" button plus an arbitrary gamepad button.

Where do you "you guys are elitist snobs" people think we get our opinions from? We MADE those mistakes ourselves, and we're trying to help others in their process. Sheeh.

[harveybirdman]

Jesus tits here we go with the wisdom shaming again.

Yes by all means build a machine loaded with every console and fill the TB hard drive up with ISOs.  He'll even make USB Jacks and a shelf for all of your original controllers and your super cool Kade Kade Kade Kade Kade Kade Kade Kade Kade* 



*no disrespect to the kade, a fine peice of hardware.

[DrakeTungsten]

Some of you either posted in the wrong thread, or are suffering from hallucinations. You guys are ranting against things that were never said or even suggested.

The OP asked for the pros and cons of having many emulators in an arcade cabinet. It's a shame such a simple thing causes you to retreat into a fantasy world. This is exactly the kind of unhelpfulness I don't envy noobs having to put up with. Take a break from the circle jerk and try to understand simple English that says something other than "You're awsome".

And for the dim-witted who are crying over being called elitists: Rest assured that I, for one, don't think of any of you as elitists (I never did think or say that elitism was rampant anyway). Your current BS has nothing to do with elitism. Your obtuseness has sadly dwarfed whatever other characteristics you may have previously displayed. But by all means, continue to enjoy your persecution as "elitists"

[Cynicaster]

Some of you either posted in the wrong thread, or are suffering from hallucinations. You guys are ranting against things that were never said or even suggested.

Yes, there is obviously a huge difference between the following sentiments: 

"some games from some consoles are fun to play with arcade controls, so therefore I put some games from some consoles on my MAME cabinet."

and

"in addition to MAME, I seek to have 30,000 console games--terabytes worth--and all emulators known to man on my MAME cabinet." 

But don't expect such nuance to be acknowledged if you dare step into the echo chamber and go off-script. 





   

[harveybirdman]

An arcade game which lasts 15 minutes tops is a different experience than a final fantasy game which requires 100 hours.

That's what Lew said to warrant the lecture dude...


I wouldn't exactly portray our side of the argument as the witch hunters here, I mean I get what you are saying and I think you have a decent point but... I think a lot of this comes from previous threads and our smattering of pithy comments.

I think the back if forth is good for Noobs actually, makes them consider different angles, and if they aren't thick skinned enough for some tough feedback I'm not so sure I want them hanging around here anyway.

EDIT, granted the original quote was a counterpoint to you and quoted you so that takes a little off what I said first and Lew could have said "to each his own," I guess....

[yotsuya]

This is why I hate this type of question. Anytime you try to provide honest feedback based on your own experience, somebody has to throw out the "elitist", "snob", or "hater" term. I'm surprised hater hasn't shown up yet.

To all future posters who ask the same question: Do what the ---fudgesicle--- you want. I don't have to play your cabinet, so I really don't give a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- anymore. Smoke a bowl, play Zelda on your Zippy 8-way joysticks, and enjoy yourself.

[CheffoJeffo]

I was ranting against the butthurt posts of Cyni and DT which all seems to stem from Lew's choice of a plural pronoun in a response to Cyni.

So Cyni ran off and decided to make imaginary rules against imaginary rules. 

Then DT decided that we are all comprehensionally-impaired. 

Thing is, those people who ---smurfette--- about mean-spirited elitism are pretty much always mean-spirited about it.

If, in a question thread like this one, your contribution to the discussion (and I'm not saying you specifically) is to take the comments of those with differing views from your own, respond to them by exaggerating what they say to the most ridiculous degree (30000 games, terabytes, 100 hours playing RPG to name a few in this thread alone), and then proceed to point out why that exaggerated scenario is ridiculous and stupid.... is that what you consider to be "honest feedback based on own experience?"  Or is it just an opportunity to be a sarcastic dick to somebody on the internet?

[Malenko]

If, in a question thread like this one, your contribution to the discussion (and I'm not saying you specifically) is to take the comments of those with differing views from your own, respond to them by exaggerating what they say to the most ridiculous degree (30000 games, terabytes, 100 hours playing RPG to name a few in this thread alone)

I didn't cite those examples so I can respond to them.  If you add up all the emulated games, they exceed 30,000 especially when you consider multiple revisions of a game and multiple regions. As for terabytes, that's super easy to do if you have disk based systems emulated and all the ISOs. The PSX and Saturn libraries will have you exceed 2 terabytes. I mean the fact they sell 4TB drives preloaded with roms on the internet should give you some idea of how much data a full library of everything could take up. Lastly I had *WELL OVER* 100 hours in Chrono Trigger, probably close to that in Final Fantasy 6 aka Final Fantasy 3 and probably 150 in Tales Of Vesperia (new game+ and the grade shop are addictive!). Hell I have over 500 hours in Diablo 3/ROS. So just because you havent experienced it or think its not possible, doesnt mean that it is impossible.

I dont disagree that they are on the high side, but they are not exaggerated.  That being said, I do in fact have a very small sprinkling of console games mixed in with my arcade games, but they really seem to be limited to console only fighting games (Like WeaponLord) or arcadey racers that can be easily played with a joystick (Like RC Pro-Am)

[popsicle]

Trying my best to ignore everything between the first post and this one. 

Although I have a dedicated vertical 4-way machine, my upright horizontal 6-button 8-way cab has MAME, NES, Sega Genesis, Atari 2600, Atari 800, and Playstation One emulators set up. Mame gets a lot of play, but there are also quite a few quick pick up and go games on the consoles that are big hits with visitors and also my kids. Many are 2-player simultaneous games. I try to keep the game list small on each, avoiding games that need instruction manuals, are heavy on the time investment, or have counter-intuitive controls. It does take some time to get the emulators setup properly, but I'm glad I did.

PSX - Twisted Metal 2, Tekken 3, Unholy War, Poy Poy, Tekken 3, Crash Team Racing, and Star Gladiator are favorites with my boys.
NES - Pro Wrestling, Excite Bike, Super Mario 3
Atari 8-bit - Archon, Blue Max, Crossfire, Alley Cat, Seawolf 2, One on One, Matchboxes (favorite of 7-year old twins), Dog Daze Deluxe, Kikstart, Missile Command
Sega Genesis - Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Toe Jam and Earl
Atari 2600 - Fishing Derby, Freeway, Bowling, Frogs n Flies

Ha, you guys are worried about noobs showing up with thin skins, but if you can't respond without grossly distorting what the other guy said, your own skin is translucent. Cheffo, if you think you're up to learning some basic reading comprehension, I might just hold your hand and walk you through your errors. But be prepared for a swell of embarrassment if understanding ever does dawn on you.

...mean-spirited...

Aw, an honest and reasoned opinion offered with restraint is a little too much for somebody's fee-fees. (Yes, I mock *now*, but geez, I initially treated Lew with more respect than this fool can muster for a differing opinion)

To all future posters who ask the same question: Do what the ---fudgesicle--- you want.

Except, of course, to expect the circle jerk to respond to anything you actually say. But, to your credit, everything else does indeed seem to be cool with you.

Just a helpful note: Standing revealed as a... lesser light, let's say, is not the same thing as being constantly accused of elitism (fun activity: search this page for "elitis" and see who's actually obsessed with the concept). Maybe you guys can get a group discount for therapy.

You sure are obsessed with the term circle jerk. Maybe you and Jim should throw a party. Invite a couple guys over. Sit in a circle, &, well, clearly you know the rest.

Honestly, the three or four games you can play effectively on authentic arcade controls to me don't outweigh the hassle of setting up other emulators. But again, let people do whatever makes them happy. Even though I've gone through it, clearly that kind of feedback isn't welcome. We're back to gold stars and sunshine here.

[yotsuya]

Oh, and remember, all this stems from this question the OP asked. It's not like he had something built already, and then everybody started to ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- on it.

Thoughts?  What do you all have emulated in your cab(s)?

So he was seeking feedback, which he got.

[Alaska]

I'm half in and half out on the MAME dedicated cab. The only reason being is that some of the games I enjoyed playing growing up run a lot smoother in other emulators outside of MAME. I only have about 30-40 games though and am not about getting "everything" and readjusting my XML file every time I want to play.

I will say that putting in the extra effort to get my AracdeVGA card to work with HyperSpin and RL was definitely the way to go. It's a killer frontend.

I haven't explored it much, but it would be nice if there was a way to set it up to be rom only so you don't have to back out of MAME and select other emultors. Some of the emultors I have on my cab only have a game or two on them... and it's a pain in the ass... I think I may be seeing the light

To answer the question. Mame, NES, SNES, and Dreamcast
