Arcade Database

Welcome!

This site aims to collect information on games and emulators, with special attention to the MAME .
Using the search pages you can view a quick snapshot of your games (images, videos, manuals) and know all the informations.

In detail it's stored the whole story of a game and there will be the ability to filter the data for the version number of the emulator.

The idea for this site dates back to several years ago, around 2010, but only at the beginning of 2015 I decided to put it into practice.

VideoSnaps

Linked to the site, I started the project VideoSnaps that is created primarily to offer to everyone, and free of charge, short movies (also called shortplay) of all Mame games, inclusing software lists titles (ex-Mess). The download will always be free, it don't require any login and no payment of money.

The videos were made by a few people (mostly by me, AntoPisa, adolfo69) and each file contains information about who produced it. Gladly accepted contributions from everyone, but before this contact or read the various links that I have reported.

More details are available on this .

If you have payed for these files please let me know because it was a scam.

YouTube

I opened a YouTube which is hosting all the videos created in order to have an idea of ​​the work done to date. These files are loaded automatically each time a conversion is made and the uploaded video is automatically added to the convenient (eg. Nintendo 64, NeoGeo Pocket, etc.).

Update: The channel has already been closed and re-opened 7 times after several reports about supposed violation of the rules of the community. In fact there have been no violations at all and now it's back online. Probably this will happen again in the future, so if you find the channel closed, just wait for the outcome of the appeals that

Please be patient...
