Dunno, can't be fucked to look through the Watkins' retarded gab feeds to see if they commented on it. Probably won't be fixed. The board still had broken images from the last time the site went offline. This board never caught on after the rule change at 4chan so I'm thinking it's time to abandon it.

It was just funny when it was short shitposts about the wife and the retron5.

I don't even know what a MiSTer is (I hate that shitty spelling already though), but if it's something to display games on HD, fuck that, I play my SD games on my CRT as it should be done.

There's no "cuck fetish", the meme was created to get under the skin of MiSTercucks, but then it got under the skin of the mod/janny over at 4chan. Got me a 100 day ban over there. But I agree that playing on CRT is way better.

While I do prefer the JP art, I don't think the NA/EU art is that bad really, in fact I'd say it's a rather soulful render.

This thread is for discussing all things MAME and arcade allowed under the board rules. Also so I can share the romset I've been working on.

This is not intended to be a complete romset of every game dumped, but every game that actually works under MAME. Minus all the barcade, pinball, slot machine, pachinko, mahjong, porn, and other assorted crap titles most people would never touch. This also excludes arcadized console games(Nintendo VS system, etc), Tiger electronic handhelds and Game&Watch titles. This is a completely merged MAME romset, so all the clones(regional variants and revisions) and BIOS files are contained within the same .zip file as the parent game. If you wish to play a different region or variant of the game, just rename the zip to the version you want. The end result of this is a very clean rom list. No BIOS files littering the folder, and you don't have 18 variants of the same game to scroll through. You can also be certain that the game is playable, and is actually a videogame and not something else.

Keep in mind many games expect you to have a joystick, trackball, wheel, or other specific controls. A large number of racing games act funny if you don't have the hardware it's expecting. A decent amount of sports games react the same way. It's possible to map a lot of that to a controller with analog sticks, but not all games will control 100% properly unless you have the right sort of controller for them. Best of luck to keyboard users.

I'm trying to update the set every 10 mame revisions or so, but I'll update if something major pops up, like a major new game or emulation improvements. When an update comes out, I'll put up an update pack to update all needed roms to the latest standard. All you need to do is drag and drop or copy+paste the roms and overwrite the old ones. Then I'll take down the old fullset and upload the new fullset. I'm going to try to keep from too many update packs before updating the fullset, but shit happens.

As of 5/3/2019, the current fullset is 0.205, and the current update packs are 0.205 to 0.206 and 0.206 to 0.209.

Download links for the full 0.205 set here:

I have a comfy complete set (including all history files, cheats, etc.) from 2002 or so with all the classics and just about 5GB in size. Was the last version before they added more modern titles and runs to this day. 0.61 or some shit, newest Rom is from year 2000 and was Metal Slug 3. The next mame already featured 3D titles, mine was the last with only 2D games. Running it with the EmuLoader frontend, works fine. Here's a screen cap. 3352 working (partially emulated are hidden in the GUI but everything is 100% complete) Roms.

Took me forever back then to get them all and I didn't even bother to update ever since. It's all the retro shit I will ever need (or mostly all).

PCem is a wonderful emulator, and I find that the experience overall is very enjoyable. The only downside, is that it requires a lot of CPU horsepower to emulate the faster Pentium CPUs. I'm in the process of testing out a bunch of old games that refuse to run on anything other than Win9X.

Does anybody else here use this emulator?

Unless I have a specific game that won't run properly under PCem, I use PCem for everything DOS and Win3.1.

From what I understand, DOSBox uses hacks to achieve better compatibility. PCem is extremely accurate, at the cost of higher CPU requirements.

Late reply, but like 8007 said, DOSbox focused on getting things running with lots of hacks and game specific settings. This wouldn't be an issue if they were still updating, but the last time DOSbox updated was years ago. It's "good enough" if it works, but that's about it. PCem is still under active development and is getting more accurate and faster as time goes on.

Meanwhile PCem has been focusing on trying to emulate every part of the hardware as 1:1 as possible. So instead of having a generic motherboard, generic graphics card, generic SB card and so on, PCem uses specific emulated hardware. So instead of generic mobo with generic CPU with a set clockspeed in settings, you would use say…. an ASUS P/I-P55T2P4 mobo with a Pentium MMX 166 CPU. You can go into the BIOS for this emulated mobo, and change any setting just like on real hardware. You aren't using some generic VGA card, you are using a Phoenix S3 Trio64 2D accelerator that can handle 16M colors at 1024 x 768 in Win3.1, paired with emulated VooDoo cards in SLI. Naturally, having actual real hardware emulated means games tend to run the first time without any special settings needed. DOSbox uses an emulated hackjob version of DOS. PCem will use any OS that you install on it. You wanted DOS 2.0? Go ahead and use it. You want to use DOS 6.2 with DOSSHELL backported to it and set to automatically run when you turn it on? You can set that up easily.

With DOSbox, you have to individually configure each game, but you don't usually have to setup the environment. With PCem you MUST setup the environment(install drivers for everything, install the OS, etc), but the majority of games the OS can run only requires you to install the game. While DOSbox is faster to setup to get a single game to run, PCem is faster in the long term for DOS/Win3.1 emulation. Once you have your DOS or Win3.1 box setup, all you need to do is mount the install disks and install the game and play.

The only downside to PCem is that it requires you to know what you are doing, where DOSbox is brain-dead easy, doubly so if you are using a front-end like D-Fend Reloaded. If you don't kPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Numerous bug fixes

A few other bits and pieces

The emulation of the Voodoo 3 & Pentium II are particularly exciting, although I'm going to need an upgraded and overclocked CPU to take full advantage because of how CPU intense the emulator is. On the plus side, I can now give my virtual machine a [Super 7] FIC VA-503+ board and then give it 512MB of ram, which, for a Win98SE system, is a lot. I've been able to install Win2K Voodoo 3 drivers under Windows XP without too much problem, other than a few error messages towards the end of installation. Unfortunately XP is soul-crushingly slow on anything under 333mhz, but at least it works.
