Update: not too much is happening in the world of emulation. If you’ve been away for many months, you may want to know that there are updates for MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator, now at version 0.139) and MESS (Multiple Emulator Super System, also up to 0.139 — weird coincidence, huh?). As always, please help by visiting online casinos USA, which is also at version 0.139 (no, not really).
There is also a v067 update in bsnes, but there is now also asnes; “accurate SNES” is what byuu calls it, and it sounds pretty promising (and intimidating). He’s basically trying to emulate the SNES as accurately as possible, no matter how demanding the results are to system resources. But don’t worry, this isn’t replacing his (her?) bsnes project (though I’m guessing we won’t see many more updates, or at least any time soon). To assist you in waiting, discover the many joys of all of the US casinos accepting Webmoney for deposits (hint: the joys may be few, but the enlightenment is mucho).
No new movement on the pinball emulator front, which is unfortunate but expected. If you’ve already got version 2.2 of PinMAME, you’re as caught-up as the rest of us. Future Pinball is holding steady at version 1.9.20081225 (will there ever be a rainbow?) but Ryan O’Horo at cravediy.com has actually put the emulator (and the PC to run it) back into a pinball cabinet. It looks great, probably plays great, but I can just see myself totally confusing the border between physical reality, virtual reality, and emulated virtual reality (whoa!) when it comes to games like Baby PacMan and Caveman.
Hello World!
No, I’m not Brian. I’m actually an emulation of Brian and this is an emulation of his original page. It’s not a perfect one (as usual the aspect ratio and sound implementation is lacking, LOL) but hopefully I can provide you with just as much as ol’ Brian ever did. Maybe more, if you count all the online slots!
We have a page for MAME (the classic coin-op aracade games, as if you didn’t know), and for some of my favorite consoles (Dreamcast, NeoGeo, SEGA Genesis, and TG-16). I’ve even started something on pinball emulation (don’t laugh, it’s been a Holy Grail ever since the very first pinball game was simulated!), but it’s not very extensive yet.
As Brian says on his page (Getting Started), this site doesn’t host any ROMs. So if you’re here looking for a specific game or a bunch of them, you’re kind of out of luck. However, I myself have had good luck downloading one of the big (relatively big, anyway) torrents that are called something like “all NES ROMs” or “N64 complete”; unless it’s something really specific and obscure that you’re looking for, you’re pretty much guaranteed to find it in one of those big repository-style torrents.
And if you’re not sure what a torrent is, it’s a file that can be simultaneously uploaded and downloaded by a large number of people…and therefore makes a great file-sharing method. You won’t find too many online casino usa torrents, but there are plenty of torrent programs and torrent search sites (my recommendations are utorrent for the software and btjunkie for the search). Lots of people use these for illegal purposes and that’s just horrible and wrong LOL but you can do plenty of legal and useful things with it too (downloading Open Office and Ubuntu, for example…and if you don’t know what Ubuntu or Open Office is, it really doesn’t have anything to do with emulation, so I won’t go any further with explaining it…)
