It's not meant to be a trap or put anyone down.  :lol

I've noticed that when people ask questions in the Mala subforum about other emulators like Demul or Supermodel, there usually isn't much of a response.  My driving cab forced me to find workarounds for most of the PITA ones since it's a big deal to be able to add one more game to it.
I want to add Super Mario Kart GP2 next, but am avoiding the anticipated hassle of learning how to set it up and finding out whether it's even playable or not on the pc I have.

I'm in the middle of setting up the software all these other emulators on my new cab that is solely for my own use.  :D
The original idea was to have it focus on newer games ('95 & up), but it's becoming more of an all-arounder to the point that I'm considering adding a 4-way stick.

I'm running what I consider to be the best "Arcade" emulators available:

MAME
Daphne
Sega M2
Demul (arcade games only)
Supermodel 3

One Simulator:
Future Pinball

And a few PC Arcade Ports (PC Software) - House of the Dead III, Rolling Madness, Big Buck Hunter, etc.

That's my build. See here for more info:

The link below was very influential in helping me figure out which emulators to include in my "Super Arcade". I strongly recommend it for Arcade builders. No redundancy of emuation:

The only other emulator that I strongly considered was DICE. Qualifies under my build goals but I ultimately decided against it.

On my cab with only standard joysticks, the only fully playable game I came up with is Spikeout. (which is good because I love me some beat 'em ups)

Fighting Vipers is running super slow for me (spikeout runs full speed).  Any trick settings for that game?
I think I'm on SVN 2.7something.  I seem to remember it running faster before.

Of course I love Supermodel on the driving cab.  ;D

EDIT: edited #3 in the poll to mention daphne.

I haven't used DICE.  I know some people use it for pong and that's about all I know. Guess I need to see what I'm missing.

I tried Daphne Singe for the light gun games and felt it degraded the video quality too much.  I've read ripping the video from DVDs looks better.
Been debating on whether to buy a copy of Time Traveler and use it with Daphne Singe. 
I really hated that game when I was young, but I'm a bit of a PokeRom.

Badmouth. When I first set up Supermodel 3/Fighting Vipers, it ran like a slide show. Now it runs smooth as butter.
I think the key was to update to the latest SVN version which is essentially Supermodel ver 0.3

Try it. If it doesn't work, let me know and I'll dig through my notes. I got it running FAST. :)
