Still not bad! For me, it was hours and hours of the decent Atari 2600 port and also the great Joust VGA on my 486 PC courtesy of Dave Sharpless.YoshiEgg25 wrote:I am really bad at this game.

Re: MAME Game of the Week Tournaments: Joust
Okay guys, I feel like a moron, but I've never emulated on my computer* and I'm having trouble here. Which programs are you Windows people using? I downloaded three from ROMnation and none of them located the zipped Joust White/Green file in the ROMs folder. Final Burn seems promising but I just can't figure what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks. /idiot
*EDIT: That's a blatant lie, as I'm a dedicated ScummVM user. Clearly my problem is that I'm overtired or something if I'm forgetting details like that. @__@

I'm using Wolfmame 0.129 because it's the version Twin Galaxies uses (it allows replays and stuff).Key-Glyph wrote:Okay guys, I feel like a moron, but I've never emulated on my computer* and I'm having trouble here. Which programs are you Windows people using?
I don't know what Final Burn is
