The pump-action reload in Space Gun was brilliant. Arcade classic.

Virtua Cop
Virtua Cop 2
Point Blank
Duck Hunt
Probably Time Crisis but I've never really played it.

Really want to play that Gungeon lightgun cab.

There where a couple of the old physical Namco shooting galleries emulated in one of the Time Crisis games. Either 2 or 3.
They were great fun.

Edit: a quick google and it looks like it was Time Crisis 2 on PS2.
It had Shoot Away 2 and Quick & Crash.

Shoot Away is in my "100 best" thread entry. An arcade experience I have yet to repeat. There's rose tint I'm sure but it was helped by the fact that it has a great 2 player mode and my mate and I were evenly matched.

Distinct lack of love for Ready, Aim, Tomatoes in here.

No.

It's a good list and all, but you also need, Laser Ghost, Space Gun, Confidential Mission, Vampire Night, Ninja Assault, Police 911, House of the Dead: Overkill, Starsky & Hutch (flawed but genuinely fun), Project Horned Owl, Operation Thunderbolt, Dead Space Extraction, Ghost Squad, Crypt Killer and Elemental Gearbolt.

Ok here's a weird one...

A digital to Analogue converter, designed by Analogue who did the Mega Sg and the Super Nt so you can use them on a CRT or pvm.

I'm not sure whether this would work with a PS4 or why you would want to but mental reverse engineering on action!

Is this the place to discuss emulation?

I have an NVidia Shield that I've just put a new version of Hyperspin on, and the tutorial mentions the MAME 2010 core. This is not available to install from the repository but various other MAME cores are. How do I go about installing the MAME 2010 core to the Shield?

Also, I have a Pi3b that I have RetroPie on. I found there to be quite a bit of lag when using my joystick or pads.

Can anyone offer some real world advice on which platform is best for mostly old school arcade games like Scramble, Commando etc? I also use RetroX on my Shield but for some reason Scramble does not work?

I'm looking to get these set up properly with scanlines, but after a lot of reading, it all seems to be a bit subjective. Are there any definitive resources for this kind of thing that I'm not aware of?

Might not technically be the right answer, but I found LaunchBox fixed all my emu issues, had previously been juggling RetroArch and SHMUPMame before. It has an android release as well, and I found it pretty intuitive to get going on, free version but I might pay at some point for the extra box art and library organising stuff

Brilliant, I'll have a look for that. Thanks.

There are 3 emulators that I have found to be satisfying.

MAME - the original daddy. For old school raster arcade games it is hard to beat. I use a build that is purposed for 32 bit shmups but it runs the older stuff like Donkey Kong etc just fine.

NESTER - for NES games. Lovely. There's a build for Dreamcast too which works great.

Stella - peerless for 2600 game emulation. Can add phosphor effects etc. It's also a valuable game dev tool as it has a superb debugger that I have used to amend ROMs to work at full speed on a PAL machine. Is a winner when combined with the Harmony cartridge.

I have no idea as to how well these are supported on handhelds. An old PC slapped into a media case with the requisite controllers and front-end are all I'd need.

The nicest front end I've used was an old one called ArcadeOS which is optimised to be used in a cabinet. Was a splendid thing but I think it only runs in DOS sadly.

Not really for me but apparently modern games look great on CRT's

Sorry Pidgeon, I only did it on Windows and it was pretty great, never tried the android side myself just saw it had android version

No worries! I found a workaround to get Scramble working on Retrox with a decent crt filter on it

I have decent doubles of PAL Saturn games if anyone wants them for the price of postage.

In case with manual. Working fine.

Manx TT - DVD style snap case - slight water damage on the insert.
Pro Pinball The Web
Athlete Kings

PM me if you want them.

No probs. It's best with the analogue controller. PM me your address and I'll figure out postage.
