chrishicks Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I have been thinking about trying to use MAME on the DC and was wondering if I could get some feedback on any experiences you may have had with it. is it hard to create the discs? are the roms hard to find? what all do I need to know before I get into this? any help would be great. thanks.

Ze_ro Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Stay away from "MAMED"... it works, but it's a port of a very old version of MAME (0.36b16 I think). Finding roms that work with it will be extremely hard. Go with the Wowpack MAME instead, since it's using a much newer version. I haven't tried burning it myself though, so I can't offer any further advice. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFairy321 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 mame on DC is slow...so slow that any game rom over 100k has severe problems........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFairy321 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 which basically limits u to the most basic games like pac man , space invader and the like.... dont even think about sf2, double dragon or anything made after say 1986 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 MAME on Dreamcast sucks the butt. So does MESS, for that matter. Vectrex emulation (using MESS) is so slow and painful on the Dreamcast that it's completely impossible to enjoy. JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
