Forget everything you knew about emulators! by Ice Cream Jonsey 12/20/2007, 7:20pm PST
This is the goddamn CAT'S ASS:

AAE (Another Arcade Emulator)

AAE is a primarily vector based arcade system emulator/simulator written using C and OpenGL. It strives to recreate the experience of playing the games as they were in the arcade, and requires the original game ROMS in order to run. In some cases copies of the original sound files and artwork are required to complete the emulation experience. It provides for simulation options that are not available in MAME ™, and offers several features that are not available in MAME ™ due to their arcade preservation charter, such as advanced hardware based drawing and motion blur.


Really! About playing the games, you say, and not a pantomime of nerd warblings designed to make playing the fucking games as much of an update hassle as possible? I give the MAME team one week before they are trying to get this thing shut down (because it's awesome in all the ways MAME isn't), so grab it while it's hot.

Here's an example:

This is Asteroids Deluxe in MAME:



(Note the complete dick-in-the-ass fuckery as they get the thing technically right, I guess, but leave off the kick-ass drop backdrop and anything resembling an artist's appreciation for what Asteroids Deluxe looked like)


Here's Asteroids Deluxe in AAE:



Bigger... stronger... faster than before.


the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey!
