> NonMAME

Welcome to NonMAME !

NonMAME is the definitive source for all known arcade emulators that either support games that are not in MAME, or provide better emulation of games that are in MAME. This site represents many years of work, collaboration with many people in the emulation community, and countless hours of research. It exists primarily to assist emulator authors in gathering more accurate information on what's currently out there; and secondarily, to help emulation enthusiasts gather a "definitive" set of all supported arcade games (provided that they have the boards of course!).

I believe that the efficacy and accuracy of this site depends strongly on its readers, so by all means if you have information to offer, please contact me. I can be reached via email here. A few rules to keep in mind before emailing me:

1. NonMAME only includes games that have made it to the arcades; this obviously excludes homebrew "hacks" and other such nonsense - if I tried to keep up with those, I'd just drive myself batty.

2. NonMAME does not include emulators that may run games faster than MAME, unless they are unplayably slow on MAME using the base system as listed below, for the simple fact that eventually we'll all have machines fast enough to run the MAME versions at acceptable speeds. So don't bitch. ;-)

3. NonMAME does not count interim "u" MAME releases. Again, sanity must be preserved - wait until the next major build.

4. Any requests for ROM images will be categorically ignored.

If you find this site useful, you may want to try out NonMESS - a site with the same goals as NonMAME that concentrates on the incredible Multiple Emulator Super System (MESS) and its rapidly developing support for computer, console and handheld systems.

One more thing, thanks go out to ALL emulator authors out there, whether or not your emulators are listed below. You are all pretty damn brilliant and my hat goes off to you.

Enjoy!

This is a great laserdisc game emulator. Of course, you still need both the chipsets and the laserdiscs (not to mention a supported laserdisc player) to play these games. Alternatively, ROMs and MPEG2 files may be used.

Demul
http://demul.emulation64.com/

Unlike other NAOMI-class emulators, Demul supports the venerable Sammy Atomiswave game system (which is really a variant of Sega's NAOMI system, but let's not be technical) and more recently, NAOMI 2. This emulator has been improving steadily though slowly, and is sadly closed-source and Windows only.

DICE
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dice/

As is the case with most standalone emulators, this one popped out of nowhere with little fanfare. The Discrete Integrated Circuit Emulator (DICE) has proven to the world that accurate and fast emulation of discrete circuity - a very difficult and noteworthy feat to accomplish - is possible.

DICE supports Pong and Space Race which, for you history buffs, have the distinction of being Atari's first two video games; as well as Breakout, famously co-designed by Steve Wozniak, who would go on to co-found Apple Computer. Speaking of which - Pong may be removed from this section soon, assuming the MAME driver improves a bit. Now, for anyone curious about emulation history, Pong's addition to MAME was actually a "second coming" after having been initially dropped; this was because the original driver represented a highly inaccurate simulation of the game. Here is a more detailed explanation of the initial decision to drop it from MAME, courtesy of "Who Wants to Know?":

The driver for "Pong" was pretty much an ad-hoc attempt at simulating the circuitry of the original machine, and it wasn't following any tracable path from the original circuitry to the driver (in other words, the writer "played it by ear," so to speak). The "pseudo-CPU" used for timing purposes was a kludge, also. Because MAME's mission is accuracy, and since the Pong driver wasn't sufficiently accurate, the driver was dropped. I've been informed that, should one actually attempt to properly simulate the circuitry (like using the video clock as a timebase), then it would be accurate enough for inclusion in MAME. However, simulation of discrete circuitry involves a jump of thinking over regular emulation programming (involving as it does the simulation of electric components normally overlooked in regular emulation--diodes, transistors, etc.--as well as the emulation of any ICs that may still be present.), and I don't know of anyone who has made such a faithful attempt yet.

http://dolphin-emu.org/

MAME does not support this game.

Mario Kart Arcade GP 2

Final Burn-FF
http://www.oocities.org/finalburnff/

This emulator provides force feedback support for Out Run, a feature sorely needed in MAME for arcade games such as this that originally supported it.

Out Run

Laser
http://sourceforge.net/projects/laser/

MAME does not support this game since it uses discrete circuitry exclusively (see my comments about this in the "MiSFiTMAME" section).

Hockey TV

MiSFiTMAME
http://misfitmame.mameworld.info/

This classic is not supported in MAME due to the fact that it relies heavily upon analog circuitry rather than ROMs, as do nearly all games written after 1976. I wouldn't bet on seeing it in MAME anytime soon.

Monaco G.P.

Radikal Bikers Emulator
http://aarongiles.com/radikal.html

MAME supports this game, but it's far too slow to be playable. While not as accurate as MAME, this emulator runs at blazing speeds, even on a 2ghz P4 - a testament to the powers of static recompilation.

Radikal Bikers

SEGA Model 2 Emulator
http://nebula.emulatronia.com/

MAME supports these games, barely - the drivers are in such preliminary stages that, in most cases, the games aren't actually playable. Unfortunately for fans of this project, ElSemi has ceased its development and it doesn't look like he will be sharing the source code.

For those of you interested in trying out UDP/IP-based netplay - there is a (highly experiemental, yet working) UDP compression tool made by Byblo, which has been taken offline (though you might be able to find it through a decent search engine of course).

WinArcadia
http://amigan.1emu.net/

WinArcadia currently supports these games better than MAME, primarily due to more accurate colors. This emulator's non-standard interface may deter some: to launch a game you need to select from a pane on the right side rather than the "File" menu where non-arcade games are loaded. Another issue is that the game ROMs are embedded in the emulator itself. I don't personally condone this practice, but that's the author's decision.

Several years ago, WinArcadia author James Jacobs indicated he'd submit a patch to the MAME team for these drivers once he's finished with his, though given the amount of time that has passed, at this point I rather doubt it. However, recent MESS advances to the Signetics 2650 CPU (on which these game are based) may render such support irrelevant.
