The following are non-arcade systems which MAME emulates as good as, if not better than, any other emulator according to our evaluation criteria. Specifications of the current baseline reference system used in testing is as follows: The optimal situation, of course, is for no systems to exist in the main section of NonMAME - meaning that MAME supports all systems as good or better than all other emulators - but don't hold your breath!
#Time gal mame rom driver#
With a bit more improvement, the driver will reach parity with its "competitors", and if the system is not represented on arcade hardware, it will be documented in the "Driven to Maturity" section.
#Time gal mame rom software#
Good: Most software should run with little or no problems.Software may run under the driver, though some titles may run slowly or with problems. Imperfect: Progress has been made, but the driver is far from complete.
#Time gal mame rom drivers#
This often represents skeleton drivers under which most software will not run, though some systems may actually launch and load software on a limited basis.
Non-existent: There is no driver for this system. MAME driver status documented for each system matches actual MAME nomenclature as follows:
Survivability: The emulator's long-term potential, commonly measured by the frequency in which the emulator is updated. Usability: The ease in which the emulator may be accessed by the "average user" assuming minimal computer knowledge. Features: Support for certain functions that aren't core to the original experience such as gamepad rumble, shaders, networking, etc. Speed: The ability to deliver an emulated experience at the same speed as the original hardware given the limitations of the NonMAME baseline reference system noted below. Accuracy: The ability to emulate the functions of the target system as faithfully as possible. Open-source status and availability: Only emulators that are open-source and run natively in Linux (the OS behind the NonMAME baseline reference system noted below) will be documented. 8: Updated PlayStation 2 section to reflect many exciting changes to the PCSX2 project which are underway.Įvaulation criteria for the best emulator of a given system is as follows (in order of importance):. Minor changes to Nintendo Switch section as well. Updated Sega CD section to recommend PicoDrive vs. 0: Updated Nintendo 3DS section to change recommendation from Citra-Canary to Citra core. 3: Added Symbian-Based Hardware section based on an interesting new and quite capable emulator for the platform, the first of its kind. 4: Updated Game Boy Color section with new test information. We will continue to recommend RA where there is clear emulation value added to the upstream project that reflects the system preservation goals NonMAME has supported for nearly 25 years. #Time gal mame rom code#
We encourage supporting standalone emulator developers whenever and however possible, as they are responsible for a great deal of the underlying emulation code found in many of RA's cores. You can read more details supporting our decision in our updated Special Notes about Retroarch section. While there are several reasons for this, primarily we feel these projects have not been getting the attention and credit they deserve, especially lately.
3: Returning to our roots, we have updated many sections to prioritize standalone emulators over their RetroArch (RA) core counterparts. NonMAME seeks to broaden understanding of extant emulation resources in the hope that MAME developers and users alike may find benefit.īearing in mind that a great deal of information posted here comes from our readers, we strongly encourage any and all comments, questions, suggestions for better emulators etc. This site represents an enormous undertaking involving tons of research with developers, discussions with the user community, and countless hours of testing.
This primarily involves arcade, computer, console and handheld systems. NonMAME documents the best open-source emulator for any given system, with priority given to MAME due to its comprehensive scope.
