More than started - I have been playing Firefox and Cubequest in Mame for a little while now. Here's the playable list so far:
Cliff Hanger
Cobra Command
Cube Quest
FireFox
M.A.C.H. 3
Us vs. Them

The Daphne site is in the process of changing hosting providers! It will be back soon!

This is fantastic news. Glad this one didn't go down.

From my understanding the MAME versions will be more authentic, but the CHDs are enormous. Plus, Daphne has so many more configurable options. And the ability to run the HD versions (they're beautiful restorations) and the new move versions of Dragon's Lair and Space Ace.

I'll definitely give you a heads-up if I ever get it to work. I'm still waiting for a cheap Blu-Ray drive to pop up on Newegg. When the site goes back up, there is technical info on ripping the DL2:Time Warp Blu-Ray in the forum. It's in the Dragon's Lair & Space Ace HD thread.

I wouldn't call the Mame CHD's enormous; they average about 13GB each. When you can get a 1TB drive for $69, the size just isn't a factor anymore. As far as configurable goes, gamepad support in Daphne sucks - Mame spanks it there. With the other options, if you could configure it on the real thing, then you can do it Mame for the most part. Daphne just doesn't have the big advantage anymore, except for support of the newer HD versions - and then you are right back to enormous file sizes...

I think Dragon's Lair is part of that list, too.
Daphne site is back.

13 GB = several hours of downloading = enormous
