Easily is that the home market is on par or better then arcade hardware (only one or two arcade boards currently are better then home consoles, Sega's Lindbrugh is one of them for sure). Back in 92, you had the SNES/GEN ports and then the much crisp, perfect sounding and looking arcade version. This all started when the Dreamcast came out, since it shared nearly the same specs as it's arcade counter part, the NAOMI. It was undoubtably the most arcade-perfect machine at the time. Soul Calibur is the main attraction. As it was perfect to the arcade in quality, and added a bit of bonus features. System 256 is based on Playstation 2 hardware, but has more RAM and GPU power compared the PS2, which leads itself to decent 3D/lukewarm 2D ports on the PS2. If there's one reason to go back to arcades is the play fighters TBH. It's the only place where you can get good (beyond online play). But the mentality is, why go to the arcade if it's just gonna get a home port afterwards. soul calibur was originally released on playstation1 based hardware.the dreamcast version was a massive improvement over the arcade version both in graphics and options. lindenburghs specs isnt as powerful than ps3 or 360 for that matter ive seen it quoted! personally i just think it is a cmplete lack of originallity.pumping out sequel after sequel! hell you dont need fancy graphics to make an addictive game remember tetris on the gb!

hi everyone! ive mostly been playing mame on xbox for a few years now and ive never really tried pc mame! so whats the most up to date version you can get! and games like daytona usa and tekkentag do you need a powerful pc to run them at a decent framerate? thanks!!!

what do you think is the main reason for them dying? home consoles getting more powerful than the actual arcade hardware? or because the market became so saturated with the same old games ie fighting games! i really just think a lot of originality and innovative ideas are not there any more.

theres a big arcade about 40 miles from where i live.about 5 years ago they had all the newest games. now 5 years on the games have got less and less it just seems to be gambling machines now!!! gimme back 1991 when streetfighter 2 was bringing back people to the arcades and the whole ressurgence started again. final fight,streetfighter 2,alienvs predator........ people were queuing to play those!!!!and it wasnt a weekend thing either it was evey night!!!!

are arcades a thing of the past or are they still relevent? discuss!!!!

agozer do you know if house of the dead 4 is coming to 360? it was rumoured a while ago but i havent heard nothing since!!!

geussing you werent a tekken fan? there is a small rumour going around that tekken6 will appear on the 360! but ill believe it when i see it!

another idea,i know you can put the games list in different genres. so could you do this with the different genres of games ie shmup,beatmup,platform each genre with the accompying gameslist and with their own custom skin and the screenshot at the side like you usually have. and maybe use the back L and R buttons to choose the different genre. even the favourites section could be accessed from thr LandR triggers! dont bother having all the games on 1 list here would be an easy to use and accessible method! what do you think?

any of you guys or gals played any of the new sega arcade machines? house of the dead 4 afterburner climax virtua fighter 5 sega rally tv exzeal havent seen any of these in my local arcade yet!!! so are they any good?

what?????????

ok thats no problem.have you been over to xbox scene yet,coz there has been a few comments left by some of the guys over there. ps do you want some more rom suggestions and were those roms i posted yesterday of any use to you??

welcome!

e.t on the atari 2600 man that was $hit!!!!

bryan fury i hope thats a joke! ryu all the way!!!

See?! nobody knows WTH your talking about. and why can't you post a link or something? its a movie about people who think their funny!!

whos the man!!!! ryu nuff said!!!!!

you are joking?

your missing out big time!!!

"luke i am your father" what hes your dad flock me!!!!! so whats yours!!!!!!!!

doom3 on xbox play it in the dark scares the crap out of me!!!

well you can still have the vertical picturs maybe some king of shooter skins for the sides coz obviousy it is mostly shooters.you see that alot in ps2 shooters ie dodonpachi 3 and ibara that would look really good. just 1 skin for the sides for all the vertical screenshots. could you have the option of having a list and a single screen with the romname and screenshot as background.or would that be too much? personally if i did have the choice then i would have the single rom screenshot style but obviously include all your features.ive seen a few mame cabs with this and it just looks good well i think anyway what do you think britneyspairs?

some more roms that should be playable on mamedox. neo geo last hope-side scrolling shooter that came out last year.the rom has been dumped,but i havent had the chance to try it. ninja masters-1996 1on1 beat emup sengoku 2-side scrolling beat emup panic bomberman-bomberman neo geo style 1994. cps2 cyberbots full metal madness-1995 1on1 beat emup with mechs streetfighter zero2alpha-1996 an upgrade from alpha2 with extra characters and features to find. super sreetfighter2x grand master challenge-1994 toaplan batsugun-vertical shooter 1993 gaia crusaders-side scrolling beat emup 1999 would it be possible to get sengeki strikers working.its on the same arcade hardware as cyvern. sengeki strikers looks an excellent shooter!ill post some more tommorow

werent a lot of drivers added that were beyond 0.84 anyway eg cps2 and neogeo. to run games like progear and king of fighters 2000-2003?

consoles i used to own. sga master system genesis gameboy (best handheld ever) gamegear gba super nintendo psx 1 commodore 64 this is how i got into emulation.you forget just how good a lot of these machine were and in a lot of cases still are.its just good to bring these systems back from the dead!

just a couple of roms that inoticed were missing from mamedox platinum2 which would be playable on mamedox1.1 gradius 1and2 strikers 1945 2 salamander 2 battle bakraid. double dragon 3 the rossetta stone. also would it be possible to have each rom diplayed as a single item with the screenshot of the game taking up the background it would look awsome. ive seen a few mame cabs with this option,basically the name of the rom and a screenshot of the game basically taking up the whole screen!
