MAME and FBN
« on: October 02, 2024, 11:27:09 PM »
Does MAME and FBN run the same game titles (I know they run different rom sets)? Does MAME run more games than FBN? Are there games that only work on FBN and not MAME? If so which games? Which is better overall? And is it redundant to have both?

  • All games deserve to be emulated, more or less! :P

The best thing is try both emulators... and, after a "personal evaluation", decide if use both or only one of them! ;)

The games/ROMs supported from both emulators, in most cases, use the same ROM Sets (obviously, in connection with the emulator release/version)...

MAME supports more systems.
FBNeo supports homebrews/hacks MAME doesn't support.
MAME has more of a preservation focus, while FBNeo has more of a gaming focus.
It's not necessarily redundant to use both, it can be complementary. A lot of users like FBNeo for the things it offers (good savestate support, netplay, runahead, rewind, ...) and use MAME only for the games FBNeo doesn't support.
