    Ahh....those classic games...bring's back memories.

    Remember the Original Star Wars Arcade machine with those Vector Graphics(Cutting Edge at the Time!). I used to love playing that when I was a Kid. We used to think that tinny synthesized voice was cool!! "The Force will be with you.....always."

    super cars was great, but u may need an st emulator.

    search google for the roms, or ask me in irc (at night when im at home and i'll dcc you)

    No it's not, that's a ludicrous internet justification which is utterly untrue. I don't have any problem with folk discussing MAME on here, since you can't get your hands on most of this old stuff for love nor money, but posting links and stuff is bold.

    Modeler is attempting to emulate Virtua Fighter however they have yet to sort out the 3D graphics, see http://www.impactemu.com/modeler_index.html

    for the homepage.

    There's another emulator called Impact which does a load of those 3D fighting games like Street Fighter EX games, Rival Schools, Star Gladiator 2, extremely fast too. You can get it at the same link.

    I have links to ROM sites for the games that run off impact on my home PC. I can post the site if anyone's interested.

    impacts ****e btw..but maybe its the games i don't like...

    And Virtua fighter's been done already on that dodgy 32X emulator.


    Love mame though.

    i played final fight thro to the end last night. nyom nymo nymo nyom!! so much of final figh has been "borrowed" into street fighter two. nyom nyom it plays so nice.

    and get paperboy. it is so so so so hard and good. and give it to me paper boy! nyom nyom!

    If anyones into amiga emulation you should try the latest version of WinUAE.

    Assuming you have workbench 3 disk images and a rom image, you can download Amiga In A Box, which basically sets up your machine with a virtual graphics card, Workbench in 1280*1024 16mill colours is well sweet.

    Runs a lot of games and with the latest processors it should run a lot of the Amiga 1200/4000 games.

    Its so good it can even run the amiga version of its emulator and emulate itself.
    Its gotta be good when it can do that.

    Now for the words of warning, the ROM file ad the workbench disks are only legal if you own em, but an awful lot of the software is free, with a lot of sites having recieved written confirmation from publishers to give games out etc....


    All these links are 100% legal

    Amiga In A Box - http://aiab.emuunlim.com/ (workbench 3 required)
    Back 2 The Roots - http://www.back2roots.org/
    (There a literally tons and tons of games\music and art created with amiga's, theres also demos for the different amiga types and even some PC demos worth watching)
    That should be enough to get you going. Ill post a pic of my workbench desktop if ppl are interested.
