Wow, support for Area 51 & Cruisn USA... Shame about the size, makes the neo-geo games look efficient :P "It has taken [mame.dk] a little longer to update the site due to support for the new diskimage system used by the CoJag system performed by our favorite mame artist Aaron Giles. But beware this is not for modem users and low bandwidth dsl as the smallest disk image is about half a Gig - but isnt it smaller in a zip you may ask ... No! the disk images is already compressed. Besides the CoJag games as Area 51, Vicious Circle and Maximum Force Aaron also added stuff like Cruisn USA and Hard Drivin but these is not for people with ghetto-pc." |

Half a gig for those 2 games you say? |

Oh yes, I finally got to try DC MAME the other night- I have to admit I only tried a couple of games, but I'm not that impressed. Maybe it's jsut that my monitor is bigger than my TV, but I though the graphics weren't as good... |

At least 500mb for each of those games... |

Emulating the more recent games isnt that good cause of the equipment you use to play the game. eg: ummm... Dance Dance Revolution? But its all good I suppose. |

I know, I forsee mame drying up in the coming year- they've emulated pretty much up to the end of "normal" games. Okay, there'll be the odd one like tekken 4 etc... but aside from a few, most arcade games of recent years have been "gimmicky"- relying on hardware that would be too expensive to buy just for one game, e.g. lightgun games, Dance dance revolution etc. |

and Dreamcast has that "Arcady" type feel to there games aswell. But yeah, the image sizes for some of these games are getting out of hand. But we got the classic under the belt... so thanks MAME for the memories :D |

Yep, all the arcade games I really care about are already emulated. That's definately a good thing. Now, once the Virtua & Daytona era games are finished too (they're getting close...) I think I'll be a happy man. BTW Ikaruga is amazing. I can't wait to play it 2 player... I think this is the game that'll force me to get the x-arcade stick and a VGA box :) |

I tell you what I like most about arcade emulation.... Take Mortal Kombat and NBA Jam for example: The sound is very dynamic and has alot of impact... Probably due to the fact that that machine is in a room with 10 other arcade machines. The sound effects on the Arcade version of MK1 are heaps better than any console. :) |

Jand: Yep, I grew up near a seaside resort trips to the arcade were a regular occurance. I remember playing old arcade games since I was about 5, having to sit on stools to reach the joystick :) Did I send you Metal Slug & Samuri Showdown on those disks? Princo re: Arcade sound. You're right- arcade amchines had to compete for attention in an arcade as a result the sounds tend to be very distinct and loud. Take Smash TV, Robocop and 720 Degrees as prime examples. Very loud and very distictive. I once walked into an arcade and knew there was a Robocop machine before I saw it (It was actually a couple of rows away!) and went and played it as a result. |
