So I am unable to get it to work. I get hyperlink to recognize the file so I think I have the right Rom. I have done some research and I see something about possibly needing an stvbios for mame. Anyone test this out? Does it come on the latest version and there just be something else not making it work? If I do need to get it then will the emulator automatically Find and use that bios every time I load the game from hyper spin or will it crash every time untill I rest the bios each time I want to play a game that requires this bios?

Ok here is the point: Most of my roms and CD based games are all 7zipped to save disc space. Now, the problem comes when you launch a GameCube, or PS2 game or any "big" CD game. It takes ages to uncompress by HL. I saw that the new HL2.0 has a nice loading bar when unzipping your game. This helps you to wait without asking yourself: "Is it still loading?" but waiting sometimes 1 to 2 minutes before you can play your PS2 game is simply too much... I decided to look back to the old WinRar and learned today that WinRar 5 was beta and available to download. So I decided to give it a try and measure it against the previous WinRar version which is 4.20 and 7zip 9.20. As you c…

the chat room is a ghost town. my self and others would frequent the room daily. now the most devout rarely show up. Just 2 weeks after the switch to the new chat room, I saw the room go from crowded with regulars and newbies, to desolate and deserted. this is a huge loss for new comers. if you were stuck, you could join the chat room and find someone to either tell you in real time your solution or just fix it for you via TeamViewer. i have witness some the the most knowledgeable members reach out to others in the chat room to have their situation resolved. now we HAVE to rely on the forums... it works and in some situations is still needed. however using the …

Hi all, So I'm wondering wether to keep going with my website. I set it up right at the begining of my emulation adventure because I found everthing hard work (still do ) My hosting is not up till next March and it's only £100 for unlimited pages, storage, site builder software and a few mailboxes & domain is sorted for a few years so it's no big deal. just not sure if it's worth while to keep adding stuff. Any constructive feedback welcome and if you want a space to write stuff about emulation give me a shout. FYI no plans to change the theme/layout really as the package above keeps it simple for me especially with the pages thing. Just want to put out helpful…

I need some help i need the word Fallen Angel tanslated i found a few translations in latin "Angelus Lapsus. and "Angelus Cadus" The translation term i am looking for is an angel who purposefully fell, of his own volition. Imagine an angel cutting their own wings off in order to leave heaven, because they simply do not want to be there anymore....NOT SATAN

I debated posting this in the database section so we may update some database games with superior versions. Let's start here though. Oddly, I can't even find a website that exhaustively tackles this subject, let alone compiles a list of games where the Japanese (or even perhaps European) version was better of a certain game for any of the numerous consoles, handheld and computer systems. What makes them "better"? 1. If you remember the term "blood codes" in the mid 90's, things like Nintendo's family friendly policy come to mind and the controversy of having Mortal Kombat move from the arcade to the home. Blood does not always equal "better" but truer to the origi…

Hello all, I just thought I would pass along this info. I recently stumbled across Gamestop retro, which sells classic games and more importantly classic controllers. I picked up 2 real Nintendo NES controllers for $5.99 a piece. Currently they are selling Gamecube, N64, SNES, Dreamcast, PS1, Genesis and NES controllers for as cheap, if not cheaper than any place I could find. My controllers came in fair condition and were working, which is not bad for the price. The prices were very reasonable and the shipping was only $4.99. You can check it out for yourself at www.gamestop.com/collection/retro-classics Just thought I would pass it on since I have found…

Been a long wait. I ordered the damn thing 3 years and 8 months ago and it's a year and 8 months overdue. Hopefully it arrives in on piece. And hopefully we can wrangle this 400lb beast into the house. If you're not familiar here is a quick vid, although mine is the special Smaug Edition version... cooler and more expensive. Ha! Not the best vid, but since mine was coming today I was watching unboxing vids

Hey everyone Checking in to see about netplay and mame inside hyper spin. Being the loner that I am, it would be nice to play other gamers online in old school throw downs. Is netplay still active for mame? Or does it suck these days/not updated? I don't know how to get it going, but I'm sure I can find some sort of guide online.... Looking for input on current status??

Does anyone have any experience with this? I bought one to finish off my Nintendo PC by making both NES ports playable but I think I may be out of my league with actually doing something with it. Anyone have any pointers. Do I have to solder both controllers to separate sides of the chip?

We wrote about it a few years back, not just because of the length of time it’s taken the team to put it together, but for how ambitious the whole project is. It has a tropical setting, features over 150 new custom-made Pokémon, the ability to talk to your creatures and even a whole new class: Nuclear Pokémon.
