Thunder In Paradise Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Ok, I've been told both ways. That you can use XMAME to play MAME games on your PS2, and I've also heard that you need Linux junk or something to make it work, or that it's a big hassle. I followed the directions on this one site for making a bootable XMAME ISO, but it didn't work when tested. Should I try looking for other info on this or just give up? I don't understand why it wouldn't work, SNES-Station works just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mentioned a site, could you tell us which one? Anyway, since the PS2 only has 32MB of memory, you won't be able to play the most recent neogeo games.

Thunder In Paradise Posted July 4, 2004 Author Share Posted July 4, 2004 That's ok, I really just wanted to do it so I could play some arcade shooters and whatnot. The website that has instructions on how to make the disc was: http://www.richpsx.com/playstation2/utilities/ps2mame.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gryph Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Yeah, XBOX emulators ports easier because it's a mini-PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, the Bill-BOX doesn't compare to new PCs. Edited August 16, 2004 by Agozer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
