Retrocade
| Version | 1.2 beta 2 |
|---|---|
| Date | 23/05/1999 |
| Platform | DOS |
| Homepage | http://www.retrocade.com/ (bad) |
| Author(s) | Neil Bradley |
| Emulates | Over 100 Classics (Late 70's to mid/late 80's) |
| Comment | Nice interface and although everything is covered by MAME it is far more efficient and takes much less of a system to run it. For example, I am informed that Retrocade can run Galaga with full sound on a 486/33 but MAME requires a Pentium 200. |

| CINEMU (Cinematronics Emulator) The better of the two Cinematronics emulators. A neat feature is that it can control a Cinematronics Soundboard via the parrallel port. http://www.netaxs.com/~vsp/cinema/cinema1.html (CinEmu hacking page) |
