Golden Tee Live via MAME or not?

By running them with MAME you'd be doing software emulation of the hardware you are already running the software on.
This could quite possibly cause a rift in the space/time continuum and eradicate life as we know it.

This answer is SEMI right. Golden Tee Fore DID use a hard drive... and a video card... but the motherboard isn't anywhere near a standard PC motherboard... it's more like the Blitz hardware... 3/4 PC and 1/4 arcade dedicated motherboard. Golden Tee Fore will load in about 10-15 seconds.
Golden Tee LIVE (and Silver Strike Bowling) are 100% PC... they even come in what is essentially a PC case... they have a POST screen and load up some variant of linux. They take somewhere around a minute (or more depending on the game) to load up. I know my Silver Strike 2007 takes about 4 minutes to load in total but that includes a couple minutes of waiting for the stupid Sprint Cell connection to time out....which can't be turned off in SSB 2007 for some reason.
As for MAME emulating them... not going to happen any time soon. Also, when it DOES happen... your PC won't be able to run it full speed for many years to come.

Thats why I said "pretty much" just PC's, but OK. ;)

This is one of the funniest things I've read on this forum!!! LOLOL :)
Best stay away from Golden Tee Live then hahahah!!!!
Rusty Shackelford:
I was hoping for Live or Fore aswell (arcade or pc) :cry:
BUT... A good golf game ive found to fill the void is Neo Turf Masters.

Golden Tee... the older ones (97, 98, 99, 2K) are all good games as well.
