If I could I'd vote for all of them, they all are pretty great

Gotta agree with Noodle on this, they all are fantastic. I gave my vote to DaphneX though, because of all the time my girlfriend and I have spent on Dragon's Lair and CliffHanger.

FBAx and Mameox are great

Yeah, I couldn't answer this poll either.

I've always sorta stuck with Mame-X because of the high Neo-Geo compatibility until the recent release of MameoX, which can run almost the same number of Neo games. Final Burn Alpha is wonderful as well, because of the shooters that are available on it, and the co-op beat'em up games (Alien vs. Predator, Shadows of Mystara). I haven't played Daphne yet (The original media laserdiscs are sorta hard to find, so I'd hafta download almost 3 gigs to play 2 games?! No thanks...).

All of the arcade emus have various strengths and weaknesses, that make it really hard for me to choose one over the other.
MameoX has the highest number of playable games, but can't play large games like Street Fighter Alpha 3 and Esp Ra De.
Mame-X has great Neo Geo compatibility being able to play some large games like Real Bout Fatal Fury Special, and is very configurable when setting up joysticks for each player in a game, but its goofy with early games like Star Wars and Defender, and can randomly freeze when starting a game, if you're starting it after previously playing another game.
Final Burn can play Capcom CPS 1-2 games wonderfully, and has compatibility with great shooters like Guwange and Do DonPachi, but emulates the second smallest list of games available for an xbox arcade emu, doesn't allow you access to dip switches on most games, the joystick configuration menu is very basic, and isn't configurable per game.
Again, because I haven't played with Daphne, I can't comment on it...

With or without the crusts?

Ah ! MESS for X-Box ! maybe...

mr jones · « **Reply #10 on:** July 11, 2003, 10:29:00 PM »

Sorry Michael, but some people want a bit more choices than Street Fighter clones and vertical shooters.

...not to say that I don't like Final Burn Alpha. I really like it, in fact. However, there is such a large variety of games to choose from with MameoX, that I'm not at all surprised that MameoX is the runaway favorite.

Actually I don't really care. Anything that can run NEOGEO is awsome in my book.

Anyone know if any emulator can handle marvel VS. capcom?

This is difficult. FBA does have some of my favorite brawlers and shooters. But, the slowdown and short choice in games (very minor complaint) doesn't make FBA my arcade emu of choice.

I would have to go with Mame-X simply because it plays Neo Geo romz extremely well (though I have yet to try MameoX).

theraven871 · « **Reply #13 on:** July 12, 2003, 12:28:00 PM »

Thanks for the info.

I love FBAX, it truly is fantastic, but I can also see why MAMEoX is winning. Same reason as was mentioned before.

I'm curious, Shadowland, what games get slowdown in FBAX? I've only really played the shooters there so I haven't really noticed any emulation problems so far.
