Hey everyone,
I'm just about to get my mame/multi-system cab up and running and need advice/help. For emulators, it doesn't take a genius to figure out Mame is a requirement. Same for Visual Pinball/VPinmame. I think this is more to impress some gamer friends but I want the cab to have the ability to run at least a few games from different systems, including some of the older computers (like the C64). So the systems arefine, what I'd like to know is the recommendation of which emulator I should use, as I know some systems have multiple emulators out there, some performing better than others (thus my question to you).
Thus, if you could provide me with either a link to an old thread I just can't find, or a list of the emulators themselves, I'd really appreciate it. I tried searching the forums for key strings like "list of emulators", but I didn't get any direct hits.
Systems I'd like to emulate, even if it's for just 2-3 games each:
Amiga, Atari ST, Atari 2600/5200/7800, Colecovision, TG16-PC Engine, C64, Apple II series, Vectrex, Lynx, Gameboy/Gameboy Advance, NES, SNES, Genesis, 3D0, SMS, GG ... and that's about it unless I'm forgetting something in particular.
A while back, I'd heard Mess was doing a good job of emulating many systems, so maybe that's the answer right there, but before I get into configuring Mess, if there's a better emulator I'd like to know. If I'm forgetting an obvious system let me know.
Thanks again,
Loaf
