Mame Recommendations...

[TyBO123]

I know almost nothing about arcade games, as I've never lived near an arcade in my life.

Anyone have any recommendations for MAME games to try out?

Preferably games that run smooth on the GP2X.

neo drift out (top down racer) should play a bit overclocked doh or the sound is not that great.
wonderboy (jump n run) series plays good on standard setting
1942 (good shooter)although it's a bit hard playing with the joystick imo
commando (us/world) (action) plays ok but again hard with the gp2x joystick
arkanoid (world) (breakout) plays ok with the joystick & default settings it's the mother of all breakout games
galaga (shooter) plays good but i need to stretch the screen in order to see my plane
galaxian (shooter) plays good but i need to stretch the screen in order to see my plane
ghost n goblins (jump & run) plays good
gyruss (shooter) plays good
Kung fu Master (action fighter) good old kung fu master anyone should have played this can be a bit hard with the joystick sometimes
pac man plays ok
snow bros (kind of puzzler) plays ok

there are plenty of others as well to much to name u could use MAWS (google it) to look up the games u actually want it has screenshots as well as information and u can look up games by genre. one note doh maws list games of the latest romset so not all games in maws are in mamegp2x

Metal Slug 1+2
Last Blade

(Moving to the MAME forum)

Try Tempest, Black Widow, Time Pilot '84, Robotron, Gauntlet (1 & 2) ... damn, there's dozens and dozens that are great.

Wow... thanks for the extensive lists of games! I just... uhh... *obtained* a bunch of them, now it's time to try them all out.

 

[virusx]

Many games rocks on Mame, but I recently discovered Varth (Shooter) and it's awsome on a handled !

 

[TyBO123]

Hmm... it seems most of the games I throw at it won't run... I get this message:

Unable to open ROM
Error reading ROMs
Unable to initialize machine emulation
LOAD FAILED: Press A button. . .

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks...

I can't answer your question, but Penguin Kun(?) wars is great!

 

[iggywig]

Tybo.. Its most likely the version of the roms that you are using. You need to use clrmame to sort it out. Try this out:

GP2x Mame Conversion

 

[gamefan999]

Warrios of Fate!!!! roxxor

MAME on GP2X is schweet-ness!!!

 

[LordFu]

The Punisher
Final Fight
Knights of the Round
King of Dragons
Strider
Shinobi
Alien Syndrome
Q-Bert

No you don't . Just rotate 90 degrees and use the volume button as fire. It works fine.

Commando and Bombjack are two of my favourites.

What home computer/console did you have as a kid ? Many of those games are arcade conversions. Here in the UK for the ZX Spectrum we had many games which were arcade conversions, great to try out the real thing.

More good ones are..

Paperboy
1942

All are classic arcade games !

I can't answer your question, but Penguin Kun(?) wars is great!

I cant believe how good that game is. I'm not normally into 'cute' games like that and i was about to quit as soon as i saw the start screen but boy that games addictive

Got to the final a few times but easily beaten everytime. Great great game

 

[the beef]

alien vs predator simple but superb
teenage mutant ninja turtles, used to play it all the time as a kid down the arcade
