Mame is an awesome emulator. It plays arcade games, and the best thing is, Inf. Coins.
MAME is a computer software program for personal computers designed to faithfully and precisely emulate as many arcade games as possible, with the intent of preserving gaming history and preventing vintage games from being lost or forgotten. The name is an acronym for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator.

INSTALLING MAME
First, Download MAME32 here.
*Removed because stickpage disallows emulators! Just google it!*
After its done installing, extract to where ever you want MAME32 installed. I put it here.
C:\Program Files\MAME32
You can put it where ever you want, though you need to come back to it whenever you want to get a new game on it.
ok, good you installed it. Now go to where ever you installed it, open the folder, open the MAME32 folder, then go to the ROMS folder.
INSTALLING THE GAMES
I will now tell you how to install a game named Metal Slug 4.
Download:
*Just google it, It isnt hard to find! Removed for No rom/emu policy.*
After downloading, put that .zip in the roms folder.
