MAME emulator on RetroPie - Raspberry Pi 4b 8GB.
expand for full description ... Welcome to our channel, Rea vlog. Filipina Foreigner Husband Philippines & Ireland. My husband would like to share some retro games footage !!
Conor here ... This week we will have a look at some of my favourite games on Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. The emulation was performed via the MAME2000 emulator on RetroPie, running on a Raspberry Pi 4b (8GB), recorded onto OBS at 25 frames a second, with the 2xsal.glslp video shader applied. For controls I used a generic SNES style USB controller.
Around 10 years ago I first got seriously into arcade machine emulation. I installed the MAME4droid app on my HTC smartphone, which allowed me to play games from the MAME 37b5 ROM set. Although it has been super seeded by Final Burn Alpha I still keep the MAME set out of nostalgia, as it has all the golden oldies from when I first started playing arcade machines in the early 1990's.
Please note that if some of videos here seem to slowdown, it is because of the 25 frame a second recording rather than the hardware struggling. When you play directly off the Pi 4 to a television all the games play FLAWLESSLY ....
Warriors of Fate - CAPCOM used this same sideways scrolling beat 'em up with weapons engine for several games. I do like the use of Chinese mythology & colourful graphics in this game.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles In Time - I played this in Dublin Airport (1992) waiting on a delayed flight to arrive. I stuck in £1 and by the time I was down to 2 lives left I had to go, so I handed it over to some kid who was watching over my shoulder !
Art of Fighting 3 - From the SNK universe of fighting games, with very nice artwork & fluid character animations. I recall playing this arcade machine in Hong Kong Airport (2012), then downloading the ROM in the que to board the plane, so I could play it on my phone during the 14 hour flight home.
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs - I remember first playing this in The Spot snooker club in Monaghan Town (1993). They always had one arcade game among the rows of poker machines. Nice mix of beat 'em up / weapons / dinos ...
The Last Blade 2 - The artwork in this game is something else, SNK really pushed the boat out to deliver something different. Hack & slash as well as punch & kick !
Metal Slug - I pumped a fortune worth of coins into this machine in Shooters pool hall, Monaghan Town (1996). Great SNK game with impressive art work & very addictive gameplay.
Samurai Showdown - Another game I first played in The Spot (1994). I used to save up my pocket money to go on a gaming binge every once in a while ! This SNK fighting game with weapon based combat is still very popular to this day.
Windjammers - The first time I saw this awesome game was on the T.V. show GamesMaster (1994 ... S4 E14), which in pre internet days was the only place to see the NEO GEO console. An air hockey type game thats easy to play but difficult to master, I have never gotten past the first round !
3 Count Bout - Wrestling game that is great fun to play. The attention to detail is impressive, even the crowd in the background are highly animated.
Captain Commando - The old Diamond Cinema in Monaghan Town had this arcade machine (1993). Me & my friends would get cash from our parents to see the Sunday matinee movie, but spend it all playing this game for hours instead ! We would re-enact it in the school playground by piggy backing each other & swinging punches, to mimic the machine with the pnumatic arms, LOL.
Neo Turf Masters - Golf game with colorful graphics, the player animation had a lot of effort put into it. There seemed to be a delay in the pushing of the button on my USB controller & the action on screen. Thats my excuse for a poor performance, as I am quite good at this one on my phone ;)
World Heros 2 - Bizarre from SNK, I think they were trying to put out a Street Figther type game ? Played this down The Spot also (1996), think it was the only place that would have it !
The King of Fighters 97 - The iconic King of Fighters is the number 1 fighting game series in Asia, without a doubt. I visited an arcade in Davao City (2011) that had 12 of these machines in a row all busy, and more kids queuing up to get playing on them, while the latest Street Fighter 4 machine had no one even looking at it !
