   It's really wild how there are all these really old arcade games that   
   they still haven't been able to properly emulate in MAME. I mean, if   
   they can get Virtua Fighter running, I just don't understand how a game   
   like WoW can give them such issues. Have you taken a look at the various   
   Single Game Emulators for MAME DC? Some are pretty hip, because they try   
   to specifically emulate just that one game. I haven't tried any of them,   
   but from what I hear they all run better than MAME DC runs any of them   
   separately. Might want to try to see if WoW is one of them(last I   
   recall, there was TMNT, RoboCop and some others available now).

   Hmmmmm, have you tried the various Arcade collecting sites and whatnot?   
   I know Scott H was having some issues with his Zaxxon arcade cabinet,   
   but I think he got that sorted out. I'll shoot him a copy of this post   
   and maybe he can try to help you out a little...

   Oh man, Pac-Man....even when I was young, playing that was just a   
   horrible experience. What's wild though is how good Ms Pac-Man was on   
   the 2600. Talk about a 180.
