Which Emulator for Arcade Classic?

[sentinelace]

I read the best emulator for the best type of game, but I am just trying to play the real arcade versions not nintendo for example.   My box is only going to play Arcade Classics.  Which one do I use?

You will need to define your list of games you are including in your arcade classics. Once that is defined then you can pick the emulator that is best suited for each game.

Mostly that will be mame as that plays a majority of the games. Then if you want model 2 games like house of the dead then you would need the model2 emulator for that. And on down the line for different games.

Alternatively you can look at what games are supported on emulators of the arcade genre and see if those qualify as classics and add the per system emulators and games.

In the end if you keep it simple then it’s just mame. You want some newer classics sprinkled in then demul, model2, model3, singe, etc may be required.

Good luck
