You may download these files only if you own the actual arcade or gamepak of a file you are downloading. You're entitled to own a backup of any software you've paid for.

Remember, the purpose of an emulator is to preserve games so that they don't disappear, to have access to alll your games on your PC and to keep a backup of games you own in case the game (arcade/home console) fails or has already failed.

You will NEVER EVER sell these ROMS for profit. Most game companies don't mind ROMS of their games being distributed because they no longer exist, but they WILL mind if someone makes money selling them.

You will NOT distribute ROMS together with emulators as a package (as mentioned in the emulator help files).

MAME Gradius II GOFER no Yabou OLD

After looking at KEI-KO Fujisaki's machines https://www.konaken.com/ (of which I'm so jealous), I noticed the large side banners on her Gradius II GOFER no Yabou machine, I thought wouldn't that be great to recreate that in MAME.

Konaken's Machine

I managed to aquire an original pair of the large side artwork in an auction, pretty rare items apparently and also not cheap, I paid £160 for the pair in pretty much mint condition, I already have the top & bottom banners and the two side instruction cards.

Sparcade rom versions, I cannot get the Gradius set to work with Sparcade but their are two version of Nemesis available.

Note that Sparcade is a pure DOS emulator and does not work natively in Windows XP, Vista or 7 but can be played on Windows 95, 98 and ME as well as good old DOS 6.22.

It also works in DOSBox and VirtualPC with some slowdown.

Sparcade Rom Pack - 2.87MB
