Of course what makes this possible is the Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator.  Aka MAME.   There are other emulators, but this is the only one I am currently running.  It runs all of the games I care about and it does it very well.  I am using the mamepp.exe command line windows executable compiled for P6 optimizations.  For the front end I'm using EmuLoader.  I tried a couple of different front ends and this one seemed to be the most responsive (performance wise).  It does fault occasionally, but  I've never had mamepp.exe fault.

 

Emulator Links

www.classicgaming.com/mame32qa Place to find those Screenshots, Titles, Flyers, and Cabinet files the frontend likes.  (They have icons too, but they sort of suck)
