Q: Is Mame Arcade Games Only?

Archived from groups: alt.games.mame (More info?)

Getting a bit confused with Mame!

Is Mame Arcade Games Only?

I used to play a Amiga Game called Leathal Weapon a lot. In see it is in
Mame but not at KLOV.

So is this an Arcade Game or is a Port from a Console / Computer Game?

The initials in this acronym stand for:

Multiple
Arcade
Machine
Emulator

That being said, there are arcade games which used Amiga hardware, and so it
would therefore not be a stretch to emulate certain "Amiga games" under MAME.
Same goes for NES, SNES and Genesis-type hardware.

it also doesnt have to be an arcade game it just has to be an arcade
machine

well the nes has its arcade counterpart as does the genesis

in fact there was a few (5) genesis arcade machines dedicated to
disneys gargoyles
(a genesis bolted down in a cab i kid you not)

an amiga is strech there is another emulator called mess and it is
quite a mess right now


so the answer is no, mame is not arcade games only it is arcade
machines only
although i am at a loss to think of an arcade machine that is not a game
