This is a port of the Multi Arcade Machine Emulator from the P.C. The
latest version includes a GUI to allow you to load the games, but I have
had trouble scrolling the games list and cannot load GYRUSS as the file
selector is off the bottom of my screen. The GUI is very limited at the
moment. Also you cannot bypass the GUI by entering commands from the CLI
in previous versions. I hope these problems will be sorted soon, as it is
a good emulator.
There is now sound emulated on some of the games, But on a 68030 @50MHZ it
is not emulated correctly. The speed of the gameplay even on a 68030
@50MHZ is VERY SLOW, but using the PatchWPA8 program it does speed things
up quite a bit. As from V0.19 there is now a framerate indicator, so you
can see how fast the emulator is running.
The number of games that are emulated is massive and it grows with every
update. If you are into arcade games then you can't go much wrong with a
copy of this.

This is another port of MAME. This is of the latest version and supports
all of the games that are supported by the P.C version. This comes in 2
versions, one for 68040's and one for 68030's.
The latest version supports over 250 games now (WOW!). The
GUI has been improved and means you can set all options from it. There are
options to save defaults to disk. Certain games now run slightly faster
with some of the engines recoded, it would be nice to see some more
optimizing so us 68030 owners could get a little more enjoyment out of
it.
If you are an Arcade Game freak then you can't go wrong with a copy of this. I just wish the
games could run a tad faster. I am glad to say that this port does support
joysticks and also CD�� pads and as such, makes playing the games alot more enjoyable.

This is a brand new arcade emulator. The current version only runs Space
Invaders and its clones. But the thing you notice about this emulator is
the SPEED!. It is written in 100% assembly and the games have to be slowed
down on my 030 to make them playable.
All games can be played from a joystick and use the same ROMs as the MAME
ones, although you may have to rename some files. This is how Arcade
emulators should be and I hope the author will add support for more games
soon.
If MAME could be as fast as this it would be brilliant. But it does look
like us Amiga owners will be getting some decent Arcade emulators now.
