XMAME is an arcade game machine emulator for UNIX/X11. It will emulate
|
|
|
|
|
the hardware, video, sound, and other services, of many classic arcade
|
|
|
|
|
game machines.

As of this release, XMAME supports an incredible 2843 arcade games, and
|
1999-09-04 16:22:36 -04:00
|
|
|
the number grows every day! A partial list of the (more popular and
|
|
|
|
|
well-known) games currently supported by this emulator include:
|
1998-02-09 22:05:05 -05:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PacMan, Ms. PacMan, Jr. PacMan, Super PacMan, Dig Dug, Star Trek, Galaga,
|
|
|
|
|
Space Invaders, Tempest, Frogger, Mr. Do!, Battle Zone, Missile Command,
|
|
|

1999-09-04 16:22:36 -04:00
|

To run these games, however, you will need images of the ROM chips that
|
|
|
|
|
are used on these games. If you actually have one of these games (or the
|
|
|
|
|
motherboard to one of them), and access to a ROM burner, it is a fairly
|
1999-09-04 16:22:36 -04:00
|
|
|
trivial process to make ROM image files for use with XMAME. If you DON'T
|
1998-02-09 22:05:05 -05:00
|
|
|
have access to a ROM burner, or you don't own one of these video games
|
|
|
|
|
(and you are aware of the possible legal ramifications of doing this),
|
1999-09-04 16:22:36 -04:00
|
|
|
you can obtain ROM images for XMAME on the Net.
