video game snapshots?

Post by **SpongeBuell** » Fri Jun 17, 2005 2:29 pm

I'm working on my arcade right now, and the frontend I am using allows snapshots of the game you have selected. I was wondering if there is any place that has a snapshot of every (or almost every) game out there? Even if you can only find it for one system (besides mame... I'm good there

) that would be awesome. I have a huge hard drive, so I'll be having basically every game for every basic system (and yes, I do own every single game to exist, geeze... why are you doubting me about that?

)

I don't thin it would ave to be too big many early games are mere kilobytes or even bytes!

you could use aodiasdlawkruj,fbsdnfgsd,jfujliwehfasdhfa8wq4-5 wyktsdtcvu9t853orxg fdjowui9780ns ore[ 6tiitf6itf697i6u9gi6u8fd56d8d5kt8l78yr6t6gyuk7v yjtf7j56t588i43er6785395... and that sould alow you to use almost no power speed up perfromance and alow you to make gold rain from the skys... oh wait to make it have a little screen shot of the game your about to play? why not screen print and paste in to paint a bunch of pics? or use goolge image search <---thats good google!

It all depends on what he considers "basic". If he only goes up to genesis and SNES than I think he could get away with a small to medium drive.

Come on, HDDs are hardly expensive technology (unless you want the golden nouget of HDDs, 10,000rpms) a 100GB drive, which would be enough, wouldnt set him back much.

Where did you get the MAME screen shots? That would be nice to have, I could see what a game looks like before I download it (legally of course

)
