DJ Boy

I would really like the game DJ Boy for an arcade emulator. I haven't kept up with arcade emulation really well ever so is MAME still the best emulator for arcade?

I already have the rom for the genesis but I want it for arcade because I remember it being better somehow just because they are a lot of the time.

If you know of a sight with it (or if you just have it) let me know. If you want some small rom for it (snes, nes, genesis, arcade, atari, etc.) and I have it then I can trade you for it if you want but I'm sure that dj boy will be a pretty small.

http://www.mame.dk should have it. If it's supported by MAME they always do. However, you have to sign up to download anything, but it's free and quick so it's not a problem at all. :)

EDIT: Just checked, and they don't. So it's either not supported by MAME, or doesn't exist. I'll keep searching during my daily routine, and if I come across something I'll letcha know. :)

EDIT: Ok, so I found information on this game, along with a game called B Rap Boys, which seems similar. I'm going to check a couple sites I have bookmarked and get back to you.

It doesn't work on MAME due to copy protection issues, hence Mame.dk not having it to download.

B.Rap boys also doesn't (at least at the time of this page being written) work in Mame:

Yeah, I checked into it and niether game is on the list of games supported by MAME, unfortunately. I guess he'll just have to continue playing it on the Genesis.

Is there a different arcade emulator that will support it?

Nope. It's just not supported. Sorry dude.

damn, Maybe some day...
Do you know if anyone is still working on MAME or any other arcade emulators to make them more compatible and support more stuff?

theres actually someone out there working on Emulating Arcade roms...seeing how Arcade games r still being made which is a good thing...but ur right...maybe one day it will

Someone? Lots of people more like, ie the Mame devs etc

A lot of games that are unemulated are just unemulated due to lack of documentation. Info often leaks though, and that is when the Mame devs can code it into Mame.

So that's how they figure out how to do it. I don't think DJ Boy was ever really popular though so it might take a while for any documentation to surface. That's if the documents still even exist somewhere. ugh.

They can reverse the info out of some things, and sometimes they figure out one machine which then leads to the fixing of another one (like they shared a similar chip). No doubt it will eventually be fixed, I think it has a preliminary driver already.
