Depending on how good your PC is you amy wanna consider Nebula. (The new one, not the original.)

Well Zinc, Nebula, and Daphne are all arcade emulators, too.

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.

 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.

Visual Boy Advance the GBA Emulator
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 :)

Dont use Nesticle.  Use VirtuaNes.  Its pretty much the best most configurable Nes emulator.
