Alpha Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 What's wrong with Nebula? It does the job. Essentially nothing, but if you are gonna be looking for netplay, or even people to play with you'd be out of luck. I have never used Nebula even when it first came out so I'm somewhat biased.Well, forget about netplay .. I myself would use FBA only for netplay. I can't even stand using mame32k for netplay as well. However, Nebula is a great emulator, and the hacks made for it in the past have been spectacular regardless of how much ElSemi disliked them. The sames goes with WinKawaks -- those 2 emulators battled it out pretty hard in 2002-2004. I never bothered with either extensively, I remember how popular Neorage X was back in 98-2000 I like mame's netplay. I prefer the way it loads a bit more than the other two emus.Neorage X remains my number one choice for any old computer I have lying around. It's by far one of the most well made DOS emulators.

I don't have to worry about anything.. I am running a Core 2 Duo Extreme and Intel Accelerated Graphics. I can run nuclear tests if I wanted.

Go with nVidia please! why would I spend money for Nvidia when I have this one for free and works almost as well (my graphics are rated as a 3.9 according to the Microsoft Index) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 why would I spend money for Nvidia when I have this one for free and works almost as well (my graphics are rated as a 3.9 according to the Microsoft Index) Why?, If its onboard then without a doubt its crap and even its not its still crap. ATI or Nvidia are much better GFX cards. When it come to neogeo mame is the best, FBA is good with neogeo as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it come to neogeo mame is the best, FBA is good with neogeo as well I'm aware that those are excellent ( I have them on my Desktop) But these run even 3D MAME roms really well. So no point in anything better if it does the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 MAME uses CPU extensively instead of much GPU power if I'm not mistaken. Please correct me if I'm wrong James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackKnight Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 True, but MAME aside, integrated graphics can't do flock all for real PC games, no matter what the chipset is rated by Microsoft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
