Title: What consoles do you emulate in your cabinet?
Post by: Jest on March 16, 2008, 02:40:29 pm

I am not sure if this should be here or in the consoles forum.

Which consoles and games do you guys emulate in your cabinets?  If the game is available on with mame and console, why do you pick console?

Thanks guys.  I'm just looking to getting into those hobby.  I ordered saint's book last night from Amazon and am really looking forward to reading it.

In my case since i'm using a 400mhz pc if a game runs slowly in mame I run it's console version.

I just have MAME running in my cabinet and nothing else.

....Although I do have a separate computer system hooked up to my TV for emulating all the console systems :D

For me consoles are for the games that were not in the arcade - eg Mario Kart, Sonic etc. I don't play arcade conversions on consoles generally as the arcade version is just about always better. However there are some good follow up type games on consoles (which did not appear in arcades), eg Golden Axe 2/3 on Sega Mega Drive.
