How many (playable) MAME games do you have set up on your cab?

Wow.

  After meticulously trying out nearly 2000 games, I narrowed down my list to 799 just before I left for work. Sure, there's a few turds in the bunch, but they're at least good for comic value or cheese factor and are enjoyable to play :)

I've got about 30 or so games in my cabinet, from Mame as well as other emulators.

Quite honestly, I don't think I play even half that number...during parties we usually end up with a combination of Street Fighter , Puzzle Bobble, or Hat Trick play.

My advice is to spend a weekend sifting through the games list, noting which ones you'd actually play.  Keep a condensed list of games.  I chose a small list just for some Front-End clarity, and ease of use for when people come over.


TelcoLou:

Yeah, I can see myself thinning this list out eventually .. I'll likely make a few custom lists though; specifically for the vertical shooters (my favorite genre). But for sure, they'll be more than 30 games total .. I've got more than that many vert. shooters  :D

Sort of depends on your controls, mame version, monitor orientation, and hardware capabilities.

My vertical 4 way with 1 button machine plays around 40 games.

i got to sort through everything on my new cab soon

is there a frontend that has the option of deleting the rom from the system when you delete it from your game list? i'm using Maximus so far and like it... but i'd use anything just for the weekend if i could just delete a game i'm not gonna use from the list & system and then move on to the next one!

failing that, perhaps one that will list games alphabetically by romname (eg sfiii)? so i can alt+tab between FE and explorer and get rid of anything quickly
