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
ACE (Another Capcom Play System Emulator) One of many Capcom/SNK emulators. When the author lost his latest source code in a hard disk crash, he didn't want to continue it any longer.	Windows	Rollback Segment (Friol)

Cinelator 95 (A Cinematronics Emulator)	Windows	Kurt Mahan Paul Kahler

Demul Not all games have been dumped yet but a promising emulator that already supports a few games!	Windows	Wind
Escuela de Combate This emulator is in Spanish. Works with the bootleg version of Combat School.	Windows	José Tejada Gómez
Final Burn Originally called the 'After Burner Emulator', Final Burn soon added support for other Sega games on similar hardware. In addition to those it has also started supporting CPS-2 games and a few of the CPS-1 games.	Windows	Dave
Final Burn Alpha Originally called the 'After Burner Emulator', Final Burn soon added support for other Sega games on similar hardware. In addition to those it has also started supporting CPS-2 games and a few of the CPS-1 games.

HiVE (High Velocity Emulator) A good windows emulator for classic games. Version 1.03 is also available in Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French.	Windows	Larry Bank
Hornet This only appears to be the start of an emulator as I couldn't get it to actual play the game, just load the ROMs.	Windows	Azuco
I, Robot A very cool emulator. The original arcade was a vector game on a raster display so the emulator is able to improve the screen resolution. Another neat feature is that screen snapshots are vector images in the Windows clipboard!	Windows	John Manfreda
Juno First Uses samples for sound. All games are in MAME but RAGE is faster for these games.	Windows	Chris Hardy
Kawaks Another dedicated CPS-1, CPS-2 and Neo-Geo emulator. Includes tile viewer, sprite viewer and integrated debugger. A personal favorite!	Windows	MHz/Mr K
MageX Uses the old MAME samples (.sam format) for some games. Sample names in the MageX v0.8a 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 the data file validity, even if the samples here do not match the data file. They were the best that I could find but do not mean that the data file is incorrect!	Windows	Edward Massey

MSega A cheap hack of ElSemi's Sega Model 2 Emulator, claim to be a new Model 2 emulator. Note from Pi... Comparing Model 2 Emulator. v0.1 alpha versus MSega whateverversion.crap. The Hex Workshop comparison shown, only matches, gives two main sections, one A1F8F bytes long and another one 6BDD4 bytes long, both at the same offsets in each file. That means that only two sections give 1105251 matching bytes. The emulators are roughly 1114112 bytes long, so 99% of them are exactly the same.	Windows	Mohanish Vijan
