Mame WIP ??????

[tix]

Can any of you (Beta Testers) give us a WIP for FMAME32.....
I realy can't wait !!!!

 

[extremegamer]

From what I've heard about MAME emulation on the GP32, i don't really think its necessary. For one thing, it will only be able to play older games, games that have already been ported to NES, Atari 2600, PCE and other systems that the GP already runs perfect. So unless we have a MAME that can run X-Men the arcade game or The Simpsons arcade game, its really pretty pointless.

 

[MojoJojo]

What about all those old arcade games, Star Wars and Lunar Lander? That's what MAME's really all about anyway.

What is a shame though is that Callus, the Capcom mumble mumble aracde machine emulator got bundled into MAME, even though it was faster and probably more suitable for porting.

(Actually thinking about that, I think Callus used loads of assembler, while MAME avoids assemble for ortability reasons. I could be wrong on these points though).

there are a load of games for Mame that havent been ported to other consoles - anyway bear in mind that these will be the original versions not a remake.

I personally am just waiting to be able to play the original pacman.

 

[frolik]

exg you are so wrong! there are loads of good older games, and most of the ports are better on the arcade originals

I'm sure I heard Ghouls n Ghosts being demo'd on fmame.,.. that in itself is well worth a release

 

[shotaway]

i agree...salamander on the arcade is better than the gpengine version...(also on c64...but we won't go there)
and slap fight is better on arcade than on megadrive...(genesis)...(genesis version had extra game...but still not as good in my eye's)

 

[RIPPER]

I love slap fight....id love the real arcade one day....hhmmmm need to buy bigger house.

XCade runs Pacman, Ms. Pacman, and other pacman variations just fine.

hi skeezix,

did you mention late last year that we may see a new beta of xcade?

that'd be excellent (thanks again!)

 

[ralp99]

"simpsons and xmen" bah! I'd love to play some Jr. Pacman, Gaplus (Galaga III), Mappy, zoo keeper, Tapper...etc etc etc.

and no offense skeezix, but pacman w/ score + etc visible (the one we got now is still fun though!)

--for the record, the game that was shown earlier in those WIPs was Ghosts n Goblins by Capcom, Ghouls n Ghosts being the sequel to that (and so far, only playable on Genesis/etc - I don't know that the Mame version will be supported)

 

[Magic Knight]

there are zillions of games not covered extreme gamer - not only that - *no* arcade conversion has been as good as the original.... give me outrun on mame over the pce version any day.. etc.. etc.. etc..

initially it was gonna be 'z80' mame. this would do me fine right now ! wish it had been released in this state

the daddy of emulation and the most sought after release on the gp for me by a long way

 

[mallrat37]

XCade runs Pacman, Ms. Pacman, and other pacman variations just fine.

indeed it does, but its not exactly 'bang on' I was thinking more of a release like
SIEMU that uses the proper romnames and whatnot.

Tis good for the timebeing though

 

[frolik]

So has anyone here tried a private beta of fmame...

any good.... ?
