| After all the Mame32 games...should I get anymore? |

| RikaKazak:
Well, I now officially have every game possible for the mame32 (that's compatible of course) and was curious if there were any other "must have" emulators? I was also curious if things like N64 emulators worked well or not with a control panel instead of a classic controller? What do you guys think/have for your own machines...more emulators or is 6,500+ games enough? |
| Zobeid:
I just can't get too interested in other emulators. The world of MAME is vast and could take years to explore fully. I dinked around with several of those other emulators first, then finally figured out what I really wanted was a MAME cabinet. So, if I was satisfied emulating consoles or home computers, I wouldn't have ended up here anyhow. The other thing I have to say. . . Is that most of the consoles and home computer systems you can emulate are better played like the originals: sitting in front of a TV set with a gamepad in your hand (for console games) or in front of a keyboard and monitor with an Atari joystick (for computer games). Putting them onto a MAME cabinet, to me, wouldn't seem like an improvement at all. |

6,500? Jesus! I only have about 400 on my mamebox that are worth playing. |

If you like Dragon's Lair or any other laser disc game, then you'll want daphne. |

RikaKazak, I enjoy having the consoles I grew up with emulated on my machine, but it's all a matter of taste. --- Quote ---I was also curious if things like N64 emulators worked well or not with a control panel instead of a classic controller? --- End quote --- IMO your N64 or Playstation emulation experience would be crippled on a standard arcade control panel; you really need that analog stick. If I wanted to emulate one of those systems, I'd get my hands on an N64-to-USB converter (usually dual-purpose N64 / PS2), integrate the adapter into the front of my control panel or maybe underneath, and set up my emulator to use the real classic controllers. A middle-of-the-road option might be something like an Ultrastick360, but I've never tried it. -EVE Games |
