How many (playable) MAME games do you have set up on your cab?
<< < (6/7) > >>
drawfull:
All of them on my (unfinished) portable cp, but I probably only play a dozen or so regularly, 5 of which I have dedicated cabs of anyway. I don't have a trackball, just 2 sticks, 6 buttons each and a TT2 spinner.

I s'pose I do play other games infrequently, if I fancy some shoot em up action but that would be about it. Never play fighters despite the 6 buttons.
Ummon:
In the golden age, a lot of games were vertical, but there were many horizontal games. Great games, too, like Robotron and Joust. I have maybe 300 total and probably half of those are 'gotta have'. At least 90 percent of them are from before '85, too. This is on a dual-player, trackball, spinner panel. I got into mame via Mame32, so have built from the ground up. My lists are all custom titled, too. Makes for hell in rom sorting and such, so I generally don't worry about it.

I differ from the norm.
at 1 time I had up to 7 cabs going.
maybe 20 games each.
I do notr have a 1 going now  :-[

I have about 6000 or so roms on my cab, of which about half are playable on my current setup due to controls or my mame pc being underpowered. 

Eh, it doesn't bother me.  I mostly just wander around in the game list and play whatever suits my fancy at the moment.  I love discovering hidden gems that way.  I would have never have played

phoenix
guardians
metamorphic warriors
magical drop
night driver
ribbit

or many others if I had a small rom list. 

I have about 50 or so games that I come back to time and again.  Mostly classics, vert shooters, and fighters.

I like the idea of just having so many games I could never get around to playing them if I tried.  I wish I could have some kind of "Random game" button on my cab.

every console too

dont forget pinmame

or Daphne (nightmare to setup)

even all 190 Three Stooges episodes (seriously)

& a jukebox with every Beastie Boys song ever made

I think if I "utilized" one file per 72 hours I would be 236 years old when at the end of the list.

I can pretty much echo this, I am up to about 3TB of space for roms alone. Damn you PSX games!  :angry:
