Dedicate countless hours to beating George Costanza's score in Frogger.

Chiller 1986 is another cool one. A lot of the titles made by Exidy are very unique and since they are absurdly rare mame is pretty much your only option. But Chiller is definitely my favorite of their games.

Mame is such a piece of shit emulator
>Need BIOS and such bullshit on a per game basis
>Entire forks of MAME are run by arcade schizos who aren't even trying to get the game running on emulator because "muh authentic experience"
>Zero attempts to translate unique control schemes to controller or KB+M

I hope more emulators like the Sega Model 2 and Model 3 emulators come out and supplant mame as the standards for arcade emulation. God it's such a piece of shit.

>Need BIOS and such bullshit on a per game basis
All arcade cabs are different some don't use the bios more then once
As you get in the 90s/2000s they rely on more componets to run said game

If they were to go threw all the arcade cabs
What you'll get is another retro arch

It also be a massive waste time in reverse engineering


>Zero attempts to translate unique control schemes to controller or KB+M
Mame is ass in control config

>>11890565
There should just be a version of Mame with the goddamn bios and external files working already. It's all fucking abandonware anyway. Just have it available unofficially.
>Y-You have to go get this random sound file and other stuff to launch Tron, a game that looks like it predates the transistor radio, please understand
It's the worst user experience of all the emulators by a large margin, it's not even close.
>But if we did that it'd just be Retroarch
Motherfucker even retro arch is better than fucking MAME. Shits ass beyond belief.

Fuck off, frog posting retard.

>>11890449
Why would you play Metal Slug on MAME when Neo Geo emulators exist?

>>11890570
>Why don't developers engage in illegal activity because I'm too lazy to download a single zip file
Mame is great because its interface acts as a filter for people like you

>>11890570
I thought it was fun finding the missing files for mame games

>>11890657
Legally speaking, for some of these it's absolutely fine, I'd even say the majority.

>>11890657
All of arcade history besides pacman galaga, digdug and Model 2 and 3 will end up flushed down the toilet of history because MAME is the biggest piece of shit program on earth

>>11890680
You are actually retarded.

Does the sinden light gun work with that

Nice reading comprehension retard.

Why DOESNT the arcade community have some sort of unofficial preloaded build available, other than the arcade community being miserable autistic fuckwads that actively don't want people to discover arcade games

>Why DOESNT the arcade community have some sort of unofficial preloaded build available
But they do. Multiple people over the years have created pre-loaded MAME packs with a specific version of the emulator and all the files needed to play whatever games are included. The majority of BIOS files are also distributed in a single archive. And beyond that, the Merged romset has every required file needed to play a game in the game's .zip file, so you don't even need to fiddle with BIOS files if you choose not to.
Sorry to interrupt your rant about how the "arcade community being miserable autistic fuckwads that actively don't want people to discover arcade games" to let you know they've created pre-loaded packs solely to get people into arcade games. Maybe you should see a shrink about the enemies in your head?

>>11890969
Merged roms, thaaaaats the Google term I needed

Like shooting fish in a barrel, thanks retard

>>11890969
>Merged romset has every required file needed to play a game in the game's .zip file
No it doesn't. You still need the separate BIOS files. That may be true for a non-merged set.

>>11891091
The non-merged set however is fucking massive and not worth downloading, so you just get the merged set and the bios files.
