Emulator Setups
One of the great things about
the ArcadePC is that it is able to support multiple emulators
available to the public. The Mame emulator is the focal point of
most emulation Arcade cabinets today. But there are other
emulators out there that can provide just as much fun an enjoyment
in an Arcade cabinet. Ever played Sonic on a cabinet? What about
the tons of EA sports titles that you left behind when the next
generation hardware arrived? Wishing that someone would decrypt
Tekken 3 so you can spend endless hours playing it with real
arcade controls? The good news is, you CAN! All you need to play
these and tons more games on the ArcadePC is the right emulator
and proper settings.
I decided to include my
configuration files for the emulators that I am running on my
ArcadePC. This will be more beneficial to owners who have an
ArcadePC with an older WellsGardner arcade monitor. However, some
of the configuration files have HotRod layout information which
should be useful to anyone with an ArcadePC. Download and use
these items only if you are having trouble getting a certain
emulator to run properly on the ArcadePC. While computer
configuration variation will cause differing levels of speed on
different emulators, generally only a difference in the video card
would cause possible problems using the suggested emulator
settings on this page. It is important to note that you may
need different settings for some emulators because of the video
card you are using, but believe me when I say that all of the
emulators listed below are playable on the ArcadePC. And when I
say playable, I mean full screen displays, responsive controls
with all buttons available, and endless fun for you and your
buddies!

SUGGESTED FILES (Excluding Emulator Program) |
COMMENTS &
SUGGESTIONS |
Mame32:
Arcade emulator |
- No additional files required
-
KeyChange program-
used to remap buttons to prevent using the mouse in Windows
|
- Select "HotRod SE" layout on the
contollers tab under Default Game Options
- "Stretch Using Hardware" on the Advanced
tab inunder Default game options to get full screen displays
- Select "Match Game refresh rate" on the
Advanced tab under Default game options if using an arcade
monitor with VGA inputs
- Set Resolution size to "640x480" and
depth to "16 bit" on the Advanced tab under Default game
options if using an arcade monitor with VGA inputs
- Remap HotRod {Payer 1 Start} to {Enter}
using KeyMap and you can start a Mame32 game by pressing
this button
- Make sure NumLock is ON and you can
select a Mame32 game with your controller
- You can edit the Mame32 configuration for
all games by pressing the {Tab} button and selecting
multiple button presses to simulate a command. My
preferences are:
- {P1 Start}+{P2 Start} = Esc game
- {P1 Start}+{Button1} = Pause game
- {P2 Start}+{Button1} = Game config
|
DGEN:
Sega Genesis emulator |
-
DGEN.ini file -
HotRod control configuration
|
- Good for ArcadePC because it allows you
to remap all of the HotRod keys including the {Alt} key
|
Impact:
3-D Arcade emulator |
-
renderer.ipc -
Video display configuration
-
controller.ipc -
HotRod control configuration
|
- The renderer.ipc file is the one I use
for my video card. There are multiple renderer.ipc files
available.
- The controller.ipc file maps all of the
HotRod control buttons automatically. You will need this
because you cannot map the {Alt} key with the regular
controller.ipc file.
|
U64:
Killer Instinct emulator |
-
U64KeyMap.dat -
HotRod control configuration
|
|
Bleem:
Playstation emulator |
- No additional files required
|
- This program is so-so. There is no frame
skip/limiter, so games can run too fast or two slow. It's
great if you have a game that is compatible and unavailable
on another emulator (like Tekken3). EPSXe is runs well on
the ArcadePC.

NEmu64:
Nintendo 64 emulator |

NEMU64.ini - HotRod
