    Nice. I can't believe it was a whole 10 years ago that I first started using MAME. I still remember it well, looking though the internet for emulation and coming across an emulator that could emulate real arcade games. It blew me away back in 1997 and it still amazes me even now.

    May MAME continue for another 10 years and beyond until it is perfectly emulating every arcade game ever released!

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

    Impossible no? There will always be new arcade games out, so MAME will always be one step behind.

    With that statement I was thinking more of arcade games up to the end of the 90's. After all, the projects aim was really to preserve the Arcade games of the past so that we don't lose them forever when the hardware fails or gets lost/trashed.

    And there haven't been all that many new arcade games released in the last few years, compared to the past. It will also always be hard to emulate the newest arcade machines, as is evident of many of the CHD based games included in MAME.

    But I do think that as long as new arcade games are developed MAME will still be in development alongside them.

    My MAME set is again up to date. Joining the torrent at 97.5%. Now the wait for the MAME 0.112 Extras torrent to be releases.

    It finished very fast, not too much missing. I'm also looking forward to the Laserdisks being added to MAME, I like Daphne, but I also would like to see it in a MAME release.

    And yes, MAME is definitely for the older games, I don't need Virtua Fighter 5 for it.

    Yes, the integration of the Laserdiscs into MAME will be good. Do you know if they are using the Daphne engine, or a new engine for this?

    I do know that the MPEG format used for the discs in Daphne is not going to be supported in MAME. Instead a variation on the CHD format is to be used. A bit annoying considering we already have the Daphne set. They are doing this as they view the MPEG versions of the laserdiscs as not being true to the original arcade machines (as the MPEG format degrades the video and resolution too much). Instead this new format is going to try and preserve the original laserdisc video as it is, which could mean very big files!
