That's nice, but still not anywhere close to an actual machine.  Have you played an original Asteroids recently?  Once you know what to look for, you will see why it's impossible to replicate on a raster monitor.  It really sucks that all of this obsolete display technology cannot be accurately reproduced somehow on today's displays.   :hissy:

..or one 25" Ampliphone mounted horizontally.

well, good call, until you consider that two 25" Ampliphone's, one hori, one vert, would be the BEST set up!!!!!

yeah.. I have seen the really thing.. on videos :) and I agree it does suck.. I know it can't be replicated BUT it could be done better than is has been.. but I guess the MameDEVs havent bothered because they know that those who actually care wouldnt be satisfied with a simulation ;)

MAME doesn't but there is a new emulator that attempts to do what you're suggesting:
