Playing Arcade Game on PC

in #teammalaysia6 years ago

I'm an avid retro game lover. Especially arcade games. I used to go to shopping mall to play arcade games such as King of Fighters, Street Fighter, Metal Slug, and many more. That was 15 years ago.

Now, I play all the arcade games using an emulator on my notebook. So, what is an emulator?

An emulator is a type of software that allows a PC/ Notebook to emulate a video game console's hardware, and play its respective games on the emulating platform. Example of emulated console are such as:

  • Playstation
  • Atari Arcade
  • Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)

There's a lot of emulator available in the world wide web. Most of it is free to download. The one that I recommend is NeoGeoX. NeoGeo able to support a various games that is meant for arcade.

Just now in the upper section, I have explain about the use of arcade game emulator. Now the questions is, how to get the games?

Similar to the emulator, out there is a lot website that offer free ROMs for retro game. What is ROM?

  • A ROM is a set of computer file. Usually in image or file format. Which every ROM contains a copy of the data from a read-only memory chip.

Usually I get a copy of ROM from romsmania

From there, u can obtain the ROM for games. Just name what type of game that you wanted. Romsmania have a wide selection of it.

Below is the screenshot of games played in NeoGeo emulator

There is also an emulator for retro games such as Mario Brothers, Contra, PacMan. I'll explain about that in another posting
