Could use some suggestions for a project I am working on with my father...

[ChrisDove123]

Hello, everyone, Allow me to introduce myself: My username is ChrisDove123, and I am proud to say I come from the United States.

I was interested in classic arcade and console games from the 80s and 90s ever since my father showed me his old sega genesis, which of course is gone now because it broke down a while ago...

Anyway...

I read the book Project Arcade and was inspired by it, so I decided to start a project where I would build my own arcade cabinet using my Raspberry Pi, with my father's help, of course. I settled on calling the Project "PiCade" for a bit, but I saw that there was a project already of the same name, so I changed the name to "DoveCade".

Now I am looking for suggestions for 2P arcade games that use 6 buttons or less.

Games already on the RetroPie Image:
Dig Dug
Donkey Kong
Galaga
Mappy
Ms. Pac-Man
The King of Fighters '97
Frogger

Suggestions Made Already:
Defender

[Slippyblade]

Obviously if you are doing a 6 button layout, you HAVE to have Street Fighter.  A Pi2 runs SF just fine, a Pi3 would do all of em except the recent console versions.

Dude thats a realllyyyy long list!

Personal ones tho:

KOF series
Street fighters
Mortal Kombats
Final Fight
Pac mans
Arkanoid
Teenage mutant ninja turtles
The simpsons
Metal slug
Asteroids
Space invaders

Thatl do for now

I'm a shooters man myself, so naturally I reckon you need galaxian and raiden on there... And pretty much any of the neo geo ones.

It is only 8 games, but I split the list into sections such as Suggestions Made already, and games already added.
Thanks for the suggestions!

As for everyone else, thank you for the suggestions as well, I will make sure I add the suggestions you all made to the RetroPie Image for my cabinet.

Every suggestion counts!

Does street fighter have any dependencies? It would be helpful if you or anyone else to let me know before I test the games on my RetroPie Image.

Thank you.

Since you said you're taking suggestions, might I recommend that you rethink the name. Pick something that sounds video gamey and badass! Adding Cade to your last name is so 2005. Pick something that evokes memories of awesome times in arcades, of the games you played as a kid. Anything -Cade sounds like something you can buy on the Home Shopping Network. Pick something that makes people think, wow, that's a game!

This could be a whole new thread in itself!

I see, but I want to emulate the feel of old school
arcade machines, so I am sticking with DoveCade.

Yes, because who didn't enjoy  playing Pac-Cade, Space InvadersCade, Out-RunCade and Street FighterCade back in the day.

Your build. Good luck with it.

Ok, I see your point... How about "DoveSys"?

Because now adding Cade to every single game name is annoying.

Sounds nebulous and mysterious... a better choice than the original ones in my honest opinion. But it's your machine, you call it what you want.

You don't have to name all of them, dude. Besisdes, your suggestions you have made are just fine.

Speaking of games, I can't seem to get the street fighter games to be compatible with the emulators I am using, which are advmame 1.4 and advmame 0.94.0.

Update: I mean that those games will not run.

[nitrogen_widget]

need .106 roms.
Should work with both versions of advmame.
