NewNet Approved Arcade Games
This is a list of arcade games approved by us for play on the live stream using the
MAME32 Plus! Plus! 0.119 emulator and
Kaillera Netplay. We have two main ways to play arcade games online; with Kaillera P2P or on the NewNet's own Kaillera server. See my tutorial for further info on P2P:
www.thenewnet.eu/en/index.php?option=com...d=337&Itemid=300
If you can master Kaillera P2P, then server play is a snap.
The main purpose of this list is to provide a resource to help NewNet members find particular arcade games to request for scheduled play on the stream via the
Live Stream Gossip Corner:
www.thenewnet.eu/en/index.php?option=com...;catid=71&id=125
The main guidelines are:
1) That any arcade game on this list generally needs to be at least 2 players simultaneous. Since Atarix might need an occasional break from constant gaming though, some 2 player alternating or single player arcade games may also be added from time to time.
2) That to meet our approval, an arcade game must usually pass a long-distance P2P play test between Atarix and myself, without being overly prone to delay and desyncs. In our experience, we have found that some arcades games (Neo Geo in particular) are doomed to desync. The amount of time it takes for a desync to occur varies widely depending on the game, though. There are still plenty of good Neo Geo games which we've found to be acceptable. Some arcade games also suffer from constant delay; somewhat annoying but possibly still playable enough for our purposes.
3) For now, unless we can work out a solution, narrow vertical screen format games are not acceptable since they leave too much empty space on the stream.
For the best available info on individual arcade games, please search them on the fantastic
MAWS database:
maws.mameworld.info/maws/ (Edit: Sorry, MAWS went down.)
Cheers,
Pete

3. Failed List
Some arcade games just don't work out well for online play in MAME. If any arcades from the Waiting List are found to be lacking then they will be noted here. In some cases we've found that Fightcade can be successfully used instead.
- Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars (too difficult to be fun)
Arkanoid Returns (insta-desync?! edit: analog control games won't sync in 0.119.)
Bad Dudes vs. Dragonninja (desync)
Bang Bead (desync)
Blazing Star (desync)
Breakers Revenge (desync) (use fightcade)
Bubble Bobble II (desync)
Dynablaster (no vs. mode)
King of Fighters '98, The - The Slugfest (desync) (use fightcade)
Last Blade, The (desync) (use fightcade)
Last Blade 2, The (desync) (use fightcade)
Metal Slug - Super Vehicle-001 (desynced once, but will double-check again)
Ninja Combat (too cheesy)
Outfoxies (desync, and scaling can make sprites too small to stream anyway)
Point Blank (analog controls don't work properly for 2P online)
Rival Schools (game works almost perfectly except for an annoying audio bug)
Samurai Shodown II (desync) (use fightcade)
Spider-Man: The Videogame (desync)
