PM me your ICQ number Jaz and i'll send... the rom seems to have been removed from the site I got it from...
when using the emulator set up the screen settings to use scan lines and it really does look just how it should...:D :D :D

taff u want to get you arse

to an exhibition in london that is moving to edinborough in september. It called game on and you can play all the original arcade games eg asteroids, pac man, space invaders etc. everything from 1960 to present day. The best emulators I've come across is a zx spectrum one for the pc and a arcade one called macmame for the mac (this is wicked kung fu master, donkey kong, galaxian, etc

checked the screen shots and it looks pretty cool..might have to think about upgrading me pc..

used to be well into the emulation thing myself, although i found that with thousands of games to play i'd never play one for more that 5 minutes..

taff - i take it you've got finalburn? thats the most impressive emulator i've seen..full speed on low spec machines and top games too..

yeah Grad... just finished getting all the roms for that Final Burn emulator... lots of games on there that aint emulated on anything else...:D
what spec PC do ya have Grad cos mine is a 933mhz P3 and everything is really fast and smooth... mind you that could be because of the Geforce 3 graphics card and 512mb of ram...

got a crappy 550 at the mo but it's starting to play up all the time and i've got a new one lined up with myk when i get some spare coinage.

but that finalburn would run well even on a pentium 300. top emulator.

have ya managed to find the other two roms yet mr T

Not yet Doolz but there is a new website up at the moment that is asking for people to donate money to buy the arcade boards... then the roms should be available then... there are 6 games that run on this hardware so maybe in the next release they will be supported....

Ridge Racer
Ridge Racer 2
Rave Racer
Ace Driver
Cyber Commando
Rhinoseros Bar Command
