Why haven't we got it in Mame??? It can't be that complex a piece of hardware that it can't be emulated. What I do know about it is that it's totally dedicated hardware with nothing that we would now call a rom on the board. But there's no reason why it couldn't be included in Mame as a hardware emulation. Anybody got any clues about this one?? Is there an emulation of Computer Space out on the web anywhere? even if it was a bit craptastic. Best Regards, Julian (Fozzy The Bear) --- End quote --- It is the same reason Pong isn't in MAME. To properly emulate all that discrete circuitry, you would need a really fast PC (faster than what is available). Plus I believe that writing the software itself is quite a challenge, but I'm not a programmer. There was a long thread about the problems with emulating Pong on this forum somewhere. In fact, there have been lots of discussions about it here and on other arcade or MAME-related forums. |

It's just a bunch of discrete IC's. Kind of like "modules". I'm not saying it's easy to make, but a normal PC would be very much capable to do this. |
