I haven't stumbled across any arcade where I live for a long time...

There was one exception of a Metal Slug cabinet in a small store once and then I've played Samurai Shodown in Mallorca once....

 

So, emulation is really the only way for me to enjoy these games....Sad, isn't it?

strange. My local arcade has a lot of new games and this is a small city.

Well....Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough. :P

Im always finding an arcade with good games, but the bad thing is that i pretty much always play the games i already own(damn) and spend like 2.50 for 2 hours. There's a place called diersins where it's like 10cents a token and games are like 1-2 tokens a piece, but i almost own all of the on my pc or dreamcast..... :P

Maybe I'm just missing the point of emulation (and I did kind of get a kick out of playing SVC Chaos/ Astro Boy before they had even been released (well here anyway)...but a big thrill of emulation for me is playing all the old games I was addicted to when I was a kid, or all the games I missed out on but desperately wanted to play (hence why I really like Sega CD emulation even though the SegaCD itself was nothing special - when i was younger I REALLY wanted one).

 

I just think that it isn't THAT much of a shame that we can't play the newer games on our emus yet...don't get me wrong, I have all the betas for the ps2, xbox, dreamcast, and gamecube emulators, but that was mainly to see the bios booting screen (I can't even get THAT to work)

 

I wonder if it would be theoretically possible to have, say, an Xbox emulator for the PS2 or vice versa. I seriously doubt it, although now that I have seen mame emus for PS2 etc... I am not sure any more. Although from what i understand the PS2 wouldn't be nearly powerful enough to emulate the XBox's functions - or vice versa for that matter.

An X-BOX emulator would cripple the PS2. I wouldn't know about vice-versa though.
