Weirdy Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 This is depressing. I read about the NAOMI specs earlier today and was amazed. I didn't know it was that powerful. And just think, a lot more great games will come out for that and it'll be forever till we can play it I wonder how much longer Playmore is going to use the NeoGeo system...I hope forever.There can't be roms forever!!! Remember, there's somethnig called an arcade machine. You pay to play. You can always play games, it'll just cost you some coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 (edited) I'm pretty sure that there will be a time when the protections are so massive that they're impossible to crack... Yeah, I may be a pessimist, but... Edited January 1, 2004 by Agozer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weirdy Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 I believe that too.. btw, I'm not a pessimist either, I'm an optimist with experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted January 1, 2004 Author Share Posted January 1, 2004 (edited) Well I'm sorry. Calm down there... There isn't a decent arcade 200 hundred miles from where I live. All the arcades where I life have Crusin' USA and Area 51. But when I do get a chance to go to a badass arcade (this one in Houston called FunPlex), I spend quite a lot. Last time I went I spent $82 at that arcade, so I'm no ultra-freeloader, just a semi-freeloader. It's just that ROMs are the only way I can play these games. I actually pay for my PC games(so sad and naive I am) and I'm not buying a console just to play 2 games...I need that cash for med school I apologize for sounding like a desperate freeloading bastard. And I'm a pessimist with no experience, so I complain about everything Edited January 1, 2004 by GryphonKlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 (edited) I haven't stumbled across any arcade where I live for a long time...There was one exception of a Metal Slug cabinet in a small store once and then I've played Samurai Shodown in Mallorca once.... So, emulation is really the only way for me to enjoy these games....Sad, isn't it? Edited January 2, 2004 by Agozer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weirdy Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 strange. My local arcade has a lot of new games and this is a small city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cominus Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Im always finding an arcade with good games, but the bad thing is that i pretty much always play the games i already own(damn) and spend like 2.50 for 2 hours. There's a place called diersins where it's like 10cents a token and games are like 1-2 tokens a piece, but i almost own all of the on my pc or dreamcast.....

stealthcat Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 if you guys have a ps1 or ps2, CvS Pro is for ps1 $30 or under and CvS 2 is for ps2 $40 for under. CvS2 is out for all 3 major consoles and the defunct dreamcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
random guy Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Maybe I'm just missing the point of emulation (and I did kind of get a kick out of playing SVC Chaos/ Astro Boy before they had even been released (well here anyway)...but a big thrill of emulation for me is playing all the old games I was addicted to when I was a kid, or all the games I missed out on but desperately wanted to play (hence why I really like Sega CD emulation even though the SegaCD itself was nothing special - when i was younger I REALLY wanted one). I just think that it isn't THAT much of a shame that we can't play the newer games on our emus yet...don't get me wrong, I have all the betas for the ps2, xbox, dreamcast, and gamecube emulators, but that was mainly to see the bios booting screen (I can't even get THAT to work) I wonder if it would be theoretically possible to have, say, an Xbox emulator for the PS2 or vice versa. I seriously doubt it, although now that I have seen mame emus for PS2 etc... I am not sure any more. Although from what i understand the PS2 wouldn't be nearly powerful enough to emulate the XBox's functions - or vice versa for that matter.

Agozer Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 An X-BOX emulator would cripple the PS2. I wouldn't know about vice-versa though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
