| Retrocade | Download RetroCade | 1.10 | 12/5/98 | DOS | This is the newest multiple arcade emulator out. This can emulate 100+ arcade roms, and it is available for Win95\98, DOS, and Unix. Since the cpu cores are coded in assembly, it is much faster than other multi arcade emulators, such as MAME. It also has sound support for most of the supported ROMs, and it is highly recommended that you download the GUI files, as the GUI is incredible. This emulator is definitely worth a try. |
