You need to be more specific..... do you mean

Nebula Model 2?

It is beta and still quite unstable, I wouldn't reccomend it on anyone's cab right now although it is quite fun when it runs. Viva Nonno is also quite good, but again, it's so unstable that it's not a good idea to put it on your cab.

I also agree about the console emus. I have consoles for that and the games aren't suited well for an arcade cab imo.

I do have zinc on there, but to be honest I've played all of the working games to death already and I doubt I'll be playing them again anytime soon. Same with daphne, these games don't have much replay value.

Post by: Shieldwolf on July 05, 2003, 04:51:16 pm: I love Street fighter and any other capcom fighter I have them all for my psx, but I haven't gotten any of them to work on zinc yet. As for my nintendo and super nintendo. I just wanted to put the games i own that i thought would be fun on an arade machine.

i know it sounds strange but theres actually some really great games for it
and if your into arcadey type games only theres quite a few of those to.
that Wario Inc games weird but my g/f likes it and its kind of an arcade type game.

Try ePSXe emulator- the best psx out there.

PSX Capcom VS. SNK is too amazing for words on the cab :)

If you're tired of daphne I'll gladly take those roms and movie files off your hands! ;)

They are all setup through mamewah.

Post by: Jakobud on July 17, 2003, 01:33:33 pm: Dont use Nesticle. Use VirtuaNes. Its pretty much the best most configurable Nes emulator.
