July 21, 2003MAME is EvilMan is MAME an evil emulator. It sucks time straight from your fingertips! This evening while waiting for a couple of master builds to complete, I thought I would try to find an ol' ROM to burn some time. Dug up 1942, and 3 hours later realize I "theoretically" just blew like $20 in quarters and 3 hours of my life. Man, I remember the day it came out back in 1984... it rocked. And even today it kept me engaged. I will say this for MAME. Its pretty good.... but it SUCKS to play these old games on the keyboard instead of a joystick. Oh well... I should check in my code and head to bed anyways. Maybe tomorrow night I will see if I can find Dig Dug, Wonder Boy or maybe even one of my old favorites... like Gauntlet or Tiger Heli.

So are you using the vanilla MAME or MAME32? MAME also offers joystick support if you have one. ;) That's how I play ALL my MAME games.

I would like a nice one with the pretty red ball on top.. just like in the arcade. However, I don't play enough to justify buying one. Oh well. I'll live.

I'll see if I can't dig it up. Posted by: Darren at July 21, 2003 03:46 PMThanks for the thoughts on the ROM, but BSpudd fired me all my favorites this morning :) I already blew an hour playing Tiger Heli, and another hour playing Gauntlet. I finished Golden Axe at lunch, and am currently thinking about playing some WonderBoy. I am just making sure I get another few hours of work done before I get sucked into the vortex of Mame tonight. I think we are going to have to have a MAME LAN party.
