Mame Arcade Emulator Knowledge Base
How does a MAME (arcade) emulator work? I have other emulators and it seems like the MAME (arcade) emulator is different from all the rest. My other emulators are downloaded then each rom is downloaded separately, but all of the MAME (arcade) emulators downloaded are preloaded with roms and unplayable. Can anybody help me figure out how to make these roms work? Why is the MAME emulator different from the rest?

At the Windows CMD prompt, I type "mame suprloco" (where suprloco' is the name of the arcade game I want to run), but Windows responds with a message saying :- "mame is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" Where have I gone wrong.?

I have folders and files for both MAME and Super Locomotive (suprloco), but cannot get it to run.. I must have missed something, somewhere... Any ideas, anyone.? .. ..

Question about MAME Emulator? Well I am pretty new to the MAME arcade emulator, but I'm trying my best to learn how to use it. One thing I don't get is that I downloaded the latest version of MAME (v.0.129) from the main website, and it doesn't seem like it can play any of the ROMS I downloaded. It always say theirs some ROM or CHD files missing. I already know about how alot of ROMS you download are old files or are meant for older versions of MAME and stuff like that, but if that is the case whats the point of even coming out with this new version of MAME if it can't play anything currently on the web? Well anyway, if someone knows about this stuff, or knows where I can find these CHD files, please let me know thank you. Hmm, well ya that makes sense, thank you for your time and input. And thanks for the link, I'll check it out.

Your top 5 arcade games as a kid? I grew up in the 80s playing video games at all the pizza places and just curious what everyones top 5 arcade games would be? Mine would be... (in this order) -Cyberball -Gauntlet -Rampage -Phoenix -Paperboy If you want to play them again... you can do a search on "cyberball rom" or whatever game you want, then the word "rom" in a google search. You should find several websites offering the ZIP files to play these games. You'll also need a MAME arcade game emulator. I get everything at romnation.net but theres plenty of other websites out there with emulators and roms for the games. I might even put Track & Field above Paperboy! Can I also add in Kung Fu Master was also another fave!

Which emulator would be able to play both Nintendo and Super Nintendo games? I recently build an arcade cabinet and have everything setup. However, I'm having difficulties getting the roms to work. I am using Ubuntu, but can use WINE and bring the retro back to the waiting game. I tried to use MAME, but that didn't work with my NES roms. I'm thinking MAME is just for arcade games themselves. I am mostly interested in playing Nintendo and Super Nintendo games. Does anyone know of an emulator that will play those games? And does anyone know of a Front End GUI that would be able to use that emulator? Note: I found what I was looking for. www.maximusarcade.com. It's not free, but it's a Windows front end that links to emulators for just about every platform. 30 day trial and then $25.
