Mame!

[skysnapper]

Juest recently redisiivering mame after forgetting about it for 4 years. Wow theres a lot more compatability now and my current pc hardly notices its running compared to my old k6 at the time :lol:

What do you guys use as there are quite a lot of them out there.. currently using mame32 which seems very popular. How does it compare to the other ones out. Quite like the way u can store art work and screenies.. be cool if i could store some text as well as i fiound a load of faqs for them so be nice to store them along side too.

I know this Gp32 board and be sacrilige to mention my Ipaq but how does the Ce version run on a 206mhz cpu IPAQ anyone played (although can't wait for the day i can play a few old classics on my GP32 ) around with and up to what sort of games can you run full speed out of interest. Would d/l it myself but from some reason my ipaq and pc to refuse talk to each other anymore :angry: will have to hook it up to my server at the weekend instead

I too use the latest version of mame32. You can have text stored with it, just look for the mame history.dat file. its bloody good.

I long for mame on my GP32, but I know this will never happen.

 

[Axeman]

Well... it's in development... who knows?

 

[Yetixx]

well, never say never axeman. :huh:

P.s you going to auto assembly on sat?

Hell yeah mame is easily the best emulator on the pc, It supports thousands of old arcade games wich is amazing. I am currently running mame32 v0.69 and I have 2989 of the 3964 games that is supports. It would be amazing to have the complete mame collection which I'm deffinatly working on. I'm thinking if I can ever finish the collection and I ever have the time and money I will buy an old broken arcade machine and build myself a mame arcade cabinet. With that you would never have to buy another video game ever as well it would make one heck of a conversation piece, as if the gp32 isn't enough of one on its own.

thats kind of my ambition too.. got the mad idea to collect the whole lot along with screenies for each one along with whatever art work and bits if info i can find burn on DVD and save for prosperity as nice little retrospective of the great days of arcade gaming
A nice cocktail cabinet on constant random play to show off the colection in the living room now that'd be cool B)

By the way how many meg is you collection so far?

Hey Speaking of Mame, a couple of months ago I learnt about "Tombstoned" do a google search. Found a burner in UK and now have the complete MAME .69 romset on 3 DVDs. For the price of the DVDs +p&p, Look into it. Or if you have any free time which many people on these boards seem to have then become a burner yourself. "Keep Mame Free!"

I also just ordered an X-Arcade stick, (would of come today but my credit card was over the limit so I just re-ordered a few hours ago.)

I've been into Mame for a long old time but I've never wet my pants about it as much as I am now... Just 2 more days till my X-arcade. (I've been refusing to play Mame at all since I decided to buy an X-arcade stick and can play properly.)

Raine would be cooler and has a better interface for accessing games, than mame(I know there are a lot of frontends for mame but still), and the way it handles the screensizes is suitable for a handheld with one resolution, it does support fewer game "sets" but the hardware it does support has the some of the best selection of games, mame is more orintated towards a different user than raine, here we are more raine users by the nature of us all buying what we have.

tombstones rock. It's the only way to get mame roms, apart from that massive file on p2p.

just a shame that a bunch of dodgy atari lightgun games push the total size up by gigs.

 

[skysnapper]

HOw big is it out of curiosity.. im going to pthe pains takingly slow route and just sloowly collect em myself that way i get to check each one individually...part of the fun :lol:.

 

[skysnapper]

By the time i'm finished maybe there'll be a a next generation of gp32 or another hand held that could play em full speed B)

 

[ralp99]

mame is the best - i got a hotrod joystick a couple years back, no way i can ever go back to the stupid arrow keys.

most played games? go figure.. galaga, ms pacman, then maybe burgertime... sheesh.. some games never get old i guess.

and i'll tell you what, as cool as it is to have them all at home now - and cooler still, the prospect of having them all on my GP32 possibly (please please, etc) - I'd trade it all in if they could fill up the arcades again. now THAT'S a shame.
