Title: Can anyone find this game?

Does MAME emulate that?  I can't find it anywhere on KLOV or MAWS so perhaps it goes by another name?

Thanks!

That game is too new to be in MAME.

Thanks!

How did you find that out?  Up to what year does Mame go?  And what controls what they emulate, etc?

there is an unspoken rule of not emulating games newer than five years.  in some cases, alot of games use the same basic system, like bemani games, and thus, none of those games will be emulated until the last one made is five years old (at least).

also, it depends on if the mame team has a game to dump or if someone is up to doing it.  some games don't get done right away because it isn't available or because no one has gotten around to doing it.

there is alot more to all this, but this is the simple reason.

I saw it at my local amusements dealer only 2-3 years ago.

Around 2000 I think?

A respect for the manufacturers and vendors of products that are still making money. MAME is about documenting old hardware, not competing with existing hardware.
