Library	Platform	Author
1942 Arcade Machine Emulator	DOS	Paul Leaman
AAE (Another Arcade Emulator) AAE is a vector based arcade system emulator/simulator written using C and OpenGL. It strives to recreate the experience of playing the games as they were in the arcade, and requires the original game ROMS in order to run. In some cases copies of the original sound files and artwork are required to complete the emulation experience. It provides for simulation options that are not available in MAME, and offers several features that are not available in MAME due to their arcade preservation charter, such as advanced hardware based drawing and motion blur.	Windows	Tim
AMOAD (Arcade Machine On A Disk) A collection of single emulators that each fit on a floppy disk. Binaries for AMOAD 20+22 are missing (they need re-compiling with Allegro v3.0 and SEAL v1.03).	DOS	Marcel Silvius Tony Docherty

Mr. Do! Arcade Machine Emulator One of the single emulators Nicola wrote before starting MAME.	DOS	Nicola Salmoria
MultiPac You can run any Pac Man clone, even if it isn't directly supported. For example if you have six roms called foo.5e, foo.5f, foo.6e ... foo.6j, just create a directory named "foo", put the roms into it and launch the emulator with "pacman foo". Grew up to become the amazing emulator that is MAME.	DOS	Nicola Salmoria
Naughty Boy Emulator	DOS	John Bugliarisi
NEOGem NEOGem is an emulator for the home console and arcade Neo-Geo systems (Neo-Geo CD is not supported). Sorry but I can't list the games that are supported here in CAESAR.

Sideway No sound for most games (needs samples also) and speed not correct. Sample names in the Sideway v0.22a data file (inside the Older Emus pack from www.logiqx.com) are believed to be correct. They were derived by examining the strings within the emulator executable and by running the emulator itself. Please do not question their validity, even if you cannot find any matching samples!	DOS	Johan S

Virtua Unfortunately Richard had to stop development due to other commitments but he released Virtua and it's source to the community.

If you feel like a challenge then finishing off Virtua might be just the thing. :)	DOS	Richard Mitton (Kayamon)
