Howdy,

I'm a long-time fan of the genre, and I'm attempting to capture the easiest ways for gamers outside of Japan to take advantage of Cave's incredible library of games. So I created this guide:

Anyway, I thought it might be something y'all enjoy, and if you have any ideas of how to make it better (these things are always works in progress) I'm all ears.

What, no MAME?

(Yes, not the best option, but when there's no alternative, there's no point in pretending it's not there.)

I know what you're saying, and--do doubt--MAME is awesome, and I agree with the argument that it shouldn't matter if you use MAME when publishers (through lack of publishing) give you no other choice (since you're not taking a game sale away from anyone). However, I try to play it extra-safe when it comes to mentioning (or condoning) emulation on my site. I basically never say the "E" word.
