i wanna know..

why do you guys think kawaks is better than mame?

[AntiWinner22]

-Kawaks doesn't hog resources like a fat 300-pound man on an all-you-can-eat nite.

-MAME is NOT good for computers (like mine) that are craptastic.

-Kawaks supports all of NeoRageX's ROMs and most of MAMEs as well.

-Kawaks is more user friendly. Very customizable controls and not much brain power needed to use it.

 

those are some of the reasons. Anon.

Because you touch yourself at night.

Huh... sounds familiar...

I prefer MAME. I haven't tried Kawaks though sooo I can't really make fun of it

[ilike2l33ch]

i prefer mame too..and i still cant find any customizable controls for kawaks like macros and like having one button be a+c or b+d

 

i think mame is more user friendly than kawaks is

@ilike2l33ch... Have you tried going to Kawak's website? They have an FAQ where they tell you how to insert macros.

Umm

 

Kawaks Is better because

 

1. Easier to load games

 

2. Easier to load cheats alt+c and select and you're off to go

 

3. easier and faster to configure the buttons

 

yadda yadda yadda etc etc

 

kawaks is just better, the only thing kawaks can't do better than mame is play games like mortal kombat and the other stuff

 

I have my kof's 94-2002, Samurai spirits, metal slugs rotd's and all that running on my kawaks 1.45 and that's pretty much all i need

 

people who are new to computers can even configure kawaks

mame has all this bullshi and crap on the screen

[wacko_jacko]

On the other hand, KAWAKS lacks raster effects (supersidekick games etc) - which MAME and NEbula emulates quite well.

[Weirdy]

...to me kawaks is more complicated than mame and nebula combined. It won't even run my games smoothly at full stretched full screen, and then the edges look all squary and it isn't that friendly to ppl who have old comps, hell it won't even load up for ppl who don't have a soundcard(just ask Disoblige)....it loads for me fine, but then I switch it over to full screen, squariness...disorder, everywhere, staticy sounds!!! ahhh!!!!!!!!!! make it stop!!!!!!! *switches over to mame*..ahh......thats better, good ol' full stretch with smoothness at 60fps........

 

..I think kawaks would be a better emulator if it had d3d support, I like that better, it especially looks better when you have d3d and you combine it with 2xsai(though capcom games act like a chick on pms when I do that, ah well)

kawaks was just an easy emulator to use for people like me who was a newbie a few months back. what i hate the most is the controllers for me is not as great. i got mah arcade stick programmed to kawaks and it would get stuck during gameplay. like it would continuosly jump or walk forward. i thought it was mah stick but on MAME it worked jus fine. anyways, yeah i wish the controller settings would be better bc u gotta change it constantly even if u changed the default ini., u still gotta reload it from the options. graphix wise, its pretty friendly with me when i put it on the tv out. MAME is pretty standard too, jus looks more complicated than Kawaks. Kawaks is pretty much MAME for DUMMIES. I like it haha.

[ovalprocess]

why is it that computer literate people like violence can be so ignorant?

 

if you dont like the mame32 interface, try clicking those little buttons on the top of the main screen. guess what! they customize the interface! and you dont even have to go into a menu to do it! now tell me how that is more difficult...

[Cominus]

Yeah i also hated everybody always wanting kawaks, i guess it was the easiest for people to cheat, you know the easyiest cheat configureation. figuers...but i guess mame is better for people with either good computers or "advanced" gamers(those who play all the damn time) kawaks is just simplier and easier to use, think of the mame as a "pc" and kawaks as a xbox. Sure they both do pretty much the same thing but one just has more options ans capabilities.

I really don't care what emulator I use. I can adapt to anyone if I have to. If a game only plays with MAME, I'll use MAME.

 

I would prefer if it all games ran on one emulator so I wouldn't have to have 4 icon (Kawaks, Nebula, NeoRageX, and now MAME32.) Personally I prefer Nebula because of its raster effects and better graphics.

 

I have a question though.

Don't KAWAKs and Nebula basically work the same? Like if you have a DAT for Kawaks, you can just add it to the Nebula neogeo.dat and the game will work. I did that for a few games and it worked properly so I'm assuming that's how it works. Am I wrong?

I agree with you man... Nebula all the way. It has the most options and features... and better graphics and sound... especially since you can download extra plugins for its video and sound. Also, Nebula doesn't take much to run. My old computer ran it perfectly and it was an 866Mhz pentium 3 with 128 MB ram. The only thing was that the graphics weren't as good because my video card was like from the stone age.
